DC vs GT Highlights, IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans secured a dramatic first win of IPL 2026 with a nail-biting one-run victory over Delhi Capitals in a game that went right down to the wire. The Titans posted 210 for four, thanks to an explosive half-century from Jos Buttler (52 off 27), Shubman Gill’s commanding 70, and Washington Sundar’s fiery 55 off 32. Buttler’s return to form was evident as he unleashed his trademark aggression, while Gill and Sundar ensured GT set a challenging total.
Delhi Capitals looked well poised to chase down the target, with KL Rahul’s 92 off 52 balls and Pathum Nissanka’s 41 off 24 laying a solid foundation through a 76-run opening stand in 8.1 overs. But Rashid Khan’s three-wicket burst in the middle overs shifted the momentum, slowing DC’s progress and creating pressure.
The game turned into a roller-coaster in the final two overs. DC required 36 runs, and David Miller, returning after tending to a finger injury, hit back with 23 runs in Mohammed Siraj’s penultimate over, including towering sixes that revived Delhi’s hopes. With 13 needed off the final six balls, Miller faced Prasidh Krishna under immense pressure. The penultimate ball proved costly, as Miller refused a single, showing a lack of trust in his partner Kuldeep Yadav. On the final delivery, Miller missed a slow bouncer and Kuldeep was run out attempting the run. A review for a wide proved unsuccessful, sealing DC’s fate at 209 for eight.
The match highlighted Gujarat Titans’ composure in crunch moments and the impact of clinical bowling under pressure. While David Miller’s late heroics nearly snatched victory, it was GT’s nerve and strategic execution that handed them a thrilling first win of the season.
