Viral posts of cricket fans around the world mourning over the death of South African batsman David Miller\u2019s<\/a> daughter went viral since last night (October 8th ). These posts originated following an Instagram post by Miller himself and few of the mainstream international media had also reported this as the death of Miller’s own daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Factcrescendo Sri Lanka\u2019s investigation found these claims to be misleading as it was only an ardent fan of Miller that had passed away, and not his own daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
