DC vs GT IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals' star batter David Miller's gritty knock of 41 runs off 20 balls went in vain as they lost the nail-biting thriller to Gujarat Titans by one run at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday. Kuldeep Yadav was dismissed by a runout on the last ball of the 20th over.
When DC needed just two runs to win off as many balls, David Miller suffered a brain-fade moment as he didn't take a single on the second last ball of Prasidh Krishna's over and then also gave a last ball a miss as Kuldeep Yadav couldn't survive Jos Buttler's direct throw.
Shubman Gill performed brilliantly as he scored a match-winning fifty and helped the team post the mammoth target of 210 runs .

Apart from Gill, Jos Buttler as well made a significant contribution by scoring 52 runs off 27 balls whereas Washington Sundar also scored a half-century off 32 balls as DC won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Mukesh Kumar (2/55) and Lungi Ngidi (1/24) were the pick among the DC bowlers.
While chasing, KL Rahul's brilliant efforts went in vain as he and Pathum Nissanka stitched a 76 runs partnership for the first wicket and gave the host a flying start.
