Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra looked visibly frustrated after a costly overthrow during Delhi Capitals\u2019 pressure-packed chase, but the defending side still managed to survive a late twist and win by just one run at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. For long stretches, Delhi appeared to be steering the game, especially when KL Rahul was in at the crease. Yet a pivotal moment in the 15th over sparked a major swing and triggered an angry reaction from the Titans\u2019 dugout.<\/p>\n

Turning point in the 15th over<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. In the 15th over, bowled by Ashok Sharma, a well-placed yorker was dug out towards the left side of the bowler by Tristan Stubbs.<\/li>\n
  2. Ashok got a touch on the ball, but he couldn\u2019t smother it cleanly, enabling the batters to take a quick single.<\/li>\n
  3. Shubman Gill moved swiftly to collect and launched a direct throw at the striker\u2019s end.<\/li>\n
  4. Even though KL Rahul had reached his ground, the deflection off the stumps sent the ball racing away to the boundary, converting what should have been one run into five for Delhi.<\/li>\n
  5. The lapse clearly angered Nehra as he reacted sharply from the sidelines, with the moment quickly circulating online as a reminder of how quickly small errors can decide close contests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Match summary: DC fall short in a thriller<\/h2>\n

    Gujarat Titans registered their first victory of IPL 2026 in a dramatic finish against Delhi Capitals. Delhi, chasing 211, ended on 209\/8\u2014falling just one run short despite a strong push in the final stages. The decisive swing came in the last over when David Miller refused a single late in the chase, a choice that ultimately proved expensive.<\/p>\n

    Last-over drama that decided it<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. With the chase nearing its end, Delhi looked to be gaining momentum, driven by Miller\u2019s big hitting and rapid reduction of the target.<\/li>\n
    2. In the final over from Prasidh Krishna, Miller rejected a single on the second-last ball, keeping the strike while applying pressure on himself.<\/li>\n
    3. On the last delivery, needing two runs, Miller missed a slower ball and tried to scramble through for the run.<\/li>\n
    4. Jos Buttler executed the run-out at the striker\u2019s end, leaving Kuldeep Yadav short.<\/li>\n
    5. Delhi were left agonisingly short, handing Gujarat a thrilling one-run win.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      How the game unfolded<\/h2>\n

      Gujarat Titans posted 210\/4 after getting a platform from a strong top order. Jos Buttler led the charge with 52, Shubman Gill contributed 70, and Washington Sundar finished with 55 as the innings stayed in control. Buttler\u2019s aggressive start\u2014backed by multiple sixes\u2014set the tone, while Gill and Sundar sustained the momentum to keep Delhi under constant pressure.<\/p>\n

      In reply, Delhi Capitals began well through KL Rahul (92) and Pathum Nissanka (41), who built a solid opening partnership. However, the middle overs brought a shift in momentum as Rashid Khan struck with three wickets. Even with late resistance led by Miller, Delhi couldn\u2019t chase down the target.<\/p>\n

      The result delivered a first win for Gujarat Titans in the season, while Delhi suffered their first loss after a promising start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
