On the eve of the second ODI against India in Ranchi recently, South Africa’s middle-order batter David Miller’s online RIP message for a young girl made some of his fans believe that his daughter had passed away in South Africa.
However, according to the cricketer’s dad, Andrew, she was the daughter of a friend. “Ane was not David’s daughter. She was a very precious nine-year-old, who had been suffering from Leukemia since the age of two. David has walked a very close road with this young lady and her family for the last six years,” Miller Sr told mid-day on Monday.
