Miller has missed the previous three games for the Capitals, not due to injury but for team balance, given only four overseas players can be part of the eleven. Pathum Nissanka, Tristan Stubbs, Mitchell Starc and Lungi Ngidi have been the first-choice picks for Delhi lately, which has kept Miller out.
But on Monday, DC went for a proper overhaul, ringing in five changes. The visitors brought in Abishek Porel, Sahil Parekh, Madhav Tiwary and Auqib Nabi in addition to Miller.
The destructive South Africa batter last played in the game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 27, where he scored 19 runs. He has tallied 123 runs in seven innings so far at a strike rate of 146, with an unbeaten 41 versus Gujarat Titans being his top score this season.
At Dharamsala, the Capitals' skipper Axar Patel won the toss and opted to field. Australian left-arm medium pacer Ben Dwarshius has made his debut for PBKS, replacing an injured Lockie Ferguson.
