Delhi Capitals lost their first IPL 2026 game on Wednesday. The team had won two consecutive games before facing Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where they narrowly lost the game by just one run. Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to bat first, scoring 210 runs in 20 overs for the loss of four wickets.
In response, Delhi Capitals managed to score 209 runs, falling short by one run. Delhi Capitals required two runs off the final two deliveries of the game to win, which were bowled by Prasidh Krishna. Delhi Capitals needed 36 runs off the last 12 balls. The first ball of the 19th over was a wide, but David Miller hit two sixes and a four off the next three balls. Vipraj Nigam hit a four off the fifth ball, giving Delhi a total of 30 runs.
The final over seemed easy. Prasidh Krishna was bowling, and Delhi needed 13 runs to win. Vipraj Nigam hit a four off the first ball, but was dismissed on the next. Kuldeep Yadav then came in and took a single. Now, 8 runs were needed off the last three balls. David Miller hit a six off the fourth ball, making Delhi’s victory almost certain. Now, 2 runs were needed from the last two balls, but Miller failed to score on the fifth ball bowled by Prasidh Krishna and was dismissed on the last ball.

However, if we consider the entire match, it wasn’t just David Miller’s fault. Prasidh Krishna bowled brilliantly, maintaining a line and length that made scoring runs extremely difficult. He bowled excellent deliveries in moments of pressure, and this was the reason why Gujarat Titans won a lost match.
