South African cricketer David Miller wants to finish his career with the 2027 ODI World Cup trophy on home ground. The 37-year-old told JioStar that making the squad for the tournament co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia is a personal goal. Miller, a middle-order finisher with over 4,600 ODI runs, said winning the title in front of home fans would be very special. He cited his unbeaten 101 for Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2013 and the IPL title with Gujarat Titans as career highlights.
