How the thriller unfolded
In a high‑voltage IPL 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the Gujarat Titans defended a mammoth 210 for 4 to beat Delhi Capitals by just one run, sealing their first win of the season in a nerve‑shredding last‑over finish. Chasing 211, Delhi reached 209 for 8, falling agonisingly short when David Miller’s refusal of a final‑over single and a subsequent run‑out sealed the defeat.
Titans’ batting masterclass
Gujarat powered to 210 for 4 in 20 overs, driven by fluent half‑centuries from Shubman Gill (70), Jos Buttler (52), and Washington Sundar (55). The middle‑order stand ensured the Titans hit dot‑ball‑free overs at a boundary‑heavy clip, pegging Delhi’s bowlers back from the outset and setting the stage for a close finish.
Delhi’s valiant chase and the final‑over drama
Delhi’s chase was built around a fireworks‑filled 92 off 52 from KL Rahul, supported by Pathum Nissanka (41) and David Miller (41 not out), who took the home side to within touching distance of the target. The match turned on the final over, bowled by Prasidh Krishna: after Miller turned down a run‑saving single on the penultimate ball, he mis‑timed a slower delivery and attempted a fruitless second, only to be run‑out by Jos Buttler at the striker’s end, leaving Kuldeep Yadav stranded and the Titans celebrating a one‑run heist.
