Gujarat Titans broke their winless streak in IPL 2026 on Wednesday, clinching a nail-biter by one run against the previously unbeaten Delhi Capitals. Before this, DC hadn’t lost a game, while GT were still searching for their first win. With this result, GT move up to sixth with two points and a net run rate of -0.27. DC, meanwhile, sit fourth with four points and a positive 0.81 NRR.
Batting first, GT posted a daunting 210 thanks to Shubman Gill’s commanding 70 off 45 balls and Jos Buttler’s rapid 52 off 27. Washington Sundar chipped in with a crucial 55 off 32. DC’s bowlers struggled, with Mukesh Kumar (2/55) and Lungi Ngidi (1/24) the standout contributors.
In response, DC captain KL Rahul led the charge with a brilliant 92 off 52 balls, sharing a strong 76-run stand with Pathum Nissanka (41 off 24). But despite Rahul's heroics, the chase faltered in the final two deliveries. David Miller, unbeaten on 41 off 20 balls, declined a single on the second-last ball, only to miss the final delivery, leaving Kuldeep Yadav run out by a Buttler direct hit.
Rashid Khan (3/17) was instrumental in GT’s defense, sealing a thrilling win and giving the Titans a much-needed lift.
