The Final-Over Drama in DC vs GT
Needing 13 runs off the final over bowled by Prasidh Krishna, Miller took the equation down to just two runs required from two balls. On the penultimate delivery, Miller made the tactical decision to refuse a single to Kuldeep Yadav, backing himself to hit the winning runs on the final ball.
However, Krishna delivered a pin-point slower bouncer that deceived Miller. A desperate attempt at a run resulted in Kuldeep Yadav being run out at the striker's end by a sharp underarm throw from Jos Buttler, leaving Delhi stranded at 209/8.

The loss marks the first defeat for the Delhi Capitals in the 2026 season, ending their two-match winning streak. For the Gujarat Titans, the result provided their first points of the campaign, moving them off the bottom of the table.
