In IPL 2026, the match between DC vs GT resulted in an incredible display of a high-scoring match, with GT scoring 210 runs for the loss of 4 wickets and Delhi being led by KL Rahul’s amazing innings of 92 runs and David Miller’s death over carnage of 41 runs.
DC fell short by 1 run as David Miller denied a single at the 5th ball when 2 were needed of 2 balls and missed the last ball which resulted in a close defeat.
First Innings: Gujarat Titans Post 210/4
GT put up a great batting performance, with Shubman Gill anchoring the innings with a stellar 70 from 45 deliveries and Washington Sundar blasting a quickfire 55 from only 32 balls.
Jos Buttler got off to a fast start, scoring an impressive half-century in 24 balls, setting the pace for GT to cross 200 well before they had lost their last wicket, thus putting pressure on DC.
Powerplay Fireworks: Buttler’s Blitz
The power play saw Buttler take full control of the game, hammering 3 sixes and 1 four from 1 over.
GT raced to 68/1 after 6 overs. That was an early wicket for Sai Sudharsan who did not contribute much.
Middle Overs Momentum
GT’s 100+ partnership between Gill & Sundar laid a good base for GT’s innings. DC’s bowlers were not up to par, bowling too many expensive overs and conceding too many runs. GT crossed the 150 mark after just 14 overs, which maintained a very good run rate.

Turning Point: KL Rahul’s Crucial Wicket
