Miller had looked in complete control during his knock of 41 not out from only 20 balls, but a high-risk decision in the final over proved costly as Delhi fell just short in a thriller that swung on one delivery.<\/p>\n<h2>The turning point: Miller\u2019s gamble and a direct-hit<\/h2>\n<p>With the equation set for a tense finish, Delhi required two runs from the penultimate and final balls. Miller\u2019s choice on Prasidh Krishna\u2019s over became the decisive moment. Facing the second-to-last delivery, Miller chose not to take a run, even though Delhi needed to manufacture two off the last ball.<\/p>\n<p>Krishna, however, produced a slower bouncer that beat Miller\u2019s timing and ended the chase. The result was immediate heartbreak for the batter, who was later seen struggling to process the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The drama didn\u2019t stop there. Miller and Vipraj Nigam, stationed at the non-striker\u2019s end, tried to steal a quick bye. But Jos Buttler was alert and struck with a direct hit at the striker\u2019s end, dismissing Nigam and sealing the narrow margin of defeat.<\/p>\n<h2>How the chase unfolded at Arun Jaitley Stadium<\/h2>\n<p>Delhi Capitals ultimately finished on 209 for 8 while chasing 211. Gujarat Titans had posted 210 for four, setting up a target that demanded precision and momentum in the final stretch.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gujarat Titans reached 210 for four, driven by Jos Buttler\u2019s 52 off 27.<\/li>\n<li>Captain Shubman Gill contributed 70 (off) while Washington Sundar made 55 (off 32).<\/li>\n<li>Rahul struck 92 off 52 and Pathum Nissanka made 41 off 24 as they built an important platform.<\/li>\n<li>A 76-run partnership came off 49 balls, giving Delhi a tough chase to navigate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For much of the innings, Titans kept Delhi under pressure. Even with the chase still alive late, Rashid Khan\u2019s impact in the middle overs shifted the balance back in Gujarat\u2019s favour, disrupting Delhi\u2019s rhythm when wickets and boundaries mattered most.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Titans were comfortably controlling the match until the 19th over.<\/li>\n<li>With the final two overs remaining, Gujarat still needed to defend 36 runs.<\/li>\n<li>Miller returned to the crease after treating a finger issue in the dressing room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Miller\u2019s late surge and the consolation from Axar Patel<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the pressure, Miller refused to let the chase drift away. Once back in the action, he delivered a late revival with a couple of sixes and a four, including a 23-run penultimate over from Mohammed Siraj that kept Delhi\u2019s hopes burning.<\/p>\n<p>After the final ball ended the contest, Miller was completely heartbroken and required support from within the dressing room. DC captain Axar Patel stepped in to console him, shaking hands with his teammate and giving him a comforting pat on the back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Miller was left
