One run.

David Miller missed the slower short ball, Jos Buttler hit the stumps at the striker’s end, and Kuldeep Yadav was run out well short of his crease. Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by one run in the 14th match of IPL 2026 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on April 8, 2026. Rashid Khan was declared Player of the Match for his spell of 3/17.

1st Innings: Gujarat Titans — 210/4 (20 overs)
Axar Patel won the toss and chose to field, but Gujarat Titans batted first and made the most of it. Jos Buttler set the tone with a devastating powerplay blitz — 52 off 27 balls, with five sixes and three fours — before Kuldeep Yadav clean bowled him in the eighth over. Shubman Gill anchored the innings throughout, and Washington Sundar arrived to form a 104-run third-wicket stand with his captain. Sundar scored his maiden IPL fifty. Lungisani Ngidi had Gill caught at mid-off in the 17th over with a slower delivery that lacked pace. Sundar fell to Mukesh Kumar in the last over. Mukesh finished with 2/55 — the most expensive bowling figures — after conceding 12 in his final over.

Total: 210/4 (20 overs)
Key innings notes: The key partnership of the innings was Gill and Sundar’s 104-run stand for the third wicket in just 56 balls. Sundar’s maiden IPL fifty was the accelerant in the middle overs that gave Gujarat their imposing total. Buttler’s powerplay blitz — 52 off 27 with five sixes — set the tone entirely. Lungi Ngidi consistently deceived batters with slower deliveries and had Gill caught at mid-off with a ball that lacked pace. Gujarat’s Impact Player substitution brought Prasidh Krishna in for Shahrukh Khan ahead of the final over, a decision that would prove decisive at the death.

Key bowling notes: Mukesh Kumar finished with expensive figures of 2/55 after conceding 12 runs off his final over. Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the Delhi bowlers — clean bowling Buttler in the eighth over at a critical moment when Gujarat were threatening to go well past 220.
2nd Innings: Delhi Capitals — 209/8 (20 overs)
Delhi’s chase began brightly. Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul put on 76 for the first wicket before Nissanka fell to Prasidh Krishna in the 8.1 over. Rashid Khan then took control in the middle overs — removing Nitish Rana (5) and Sameer Rizvi (0) in the same over and adding Axar Patel (2) later to finish with 3/17 from four overs. Rahul reached 92 off 52 balls but was caught behind off Mohammed Siraj in the 17th over with Delhi still needing 45 from three overs. David Miller, who had retired hurt in the 12th over after a hand injury, returned to the crease late and launched a stunning counter-attack — hitting Siraj for 23 runs in the penultimate over to reduce the target to 13 in the last over. Prasidh Krishna conceded only 12 in the final over, and on the last ball, Miller missed the slower delivery, Buttler took the bails off, and Kuldeep Yadav was run out — Gujarat won by one run.

Total: 209/8 (20 overs)
Key innings notes: KL Rahul scored 92 off 52 balls before being caught behind off a cross-seam delivery from Siraj that was wide outside off in the 17th over. His dismissal with Delhi needing 45 from three overs looked like the game’s defining moment — until Miller’s counterattack changed the equation entirely. Miller hit Siraj for 23 runs in the penultimate over, reducing the target to 13 in Krishna’s last over. On the final delivery, Miller missed the slower short ball and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler hit the stumps at the striker’s end with Kuldeep Yadav well short of his crease as Delhi finished at 209/8.
Gujarat Titans Bowling at Delhi Capitals
| Bowler | O | M | R | W | Econ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rashid Khan | 4 | 0 | 17 | 3 | 4.25 |
| Prasidh Krishna | 4 | 0 | — | 2 | — |
| Mohammed Siraj | 4 | 0 | — | 1 | — |
| Kagiso Rabada | 4 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 2.25 |
| Ashok Sharma | 4 | 0 | — | 0 | — |
Key bowling notes: Rashid Khan’s superb spell of 3/17 in the middle overs brought Gujarat back, as the leg-spinner chipped in with the wickets of Nitish Rana and Sameer Rizvi in one over before adding Axar Patel to complete his three-wicket haul. His economy rate of 4.25 from four overs is remarkable given 419 runs were scored in the match overall. Rashid conceded just 17 in four overs and picked up his first IPL three-for since 2023. Kagiso Rabada was the most economical Delhi Capitals-phase bowler — conceding just 9 runs from his 4 overs in the 18th, keeping Delhi on the back foot at a critical moment.
The Final Over — Prasidh Krishna vs Delhi Capitals
The last over of the match deserves its own section. Delhi needed 13 runs. David Miller — who had retired hurt with a hand injury midway through the innings — was back at the crease. Prasidh Krishna had been brought in as Gujarat’s Impact Player substitution specifically for this moment.
Miller managed 12 runs from the first five deliveries. On the last ball, needing two to win, Miller missed the slower short delivery. Buttler broke the stumps at the striker’s end. Kuldeep Yadav, backing up, was run out by a significant distance. Gujarat Titans won by one run. Delhi Capitals then reviewed the final delivery — challenging whether the last ball was a wide — but the review was struck down. The result stood.
