Gill's Return Fires GT to Shock One-Run Thriller over Unbeaten DC

Gujarat Titans bagged their first IPL 2026 win. A nail-biter by one run against unbeaten Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Shubman Gill shook off that neck spasm—missed just one game—and cracked 70 off 45 balls. Four fours, five sixes. Anchored GT's 210 for 4 nicely. Jos Buttler raced to 52 off 27 with three fours and five sixes of his own. Washington Sundar pitched in 55 off 32.

DC scrambled to 209 for 8. Twenty overs chasing that monster total. KL Rahul hung tough—92 off 52, eleven fours, four sixes—backed by Pathum Nissanka's 41 off 24 and David Miller's unbeaten 41 off 20. Mukesh Kumar snared 2 for 55. Lungi Ngidi got 1 for 24. Kuldeep Yadav picked up 1 for 42. Rashid Khan's 3 for 17 shone bright. Prasidh Krishna added 2 for 52. Wasn't quite enough for GT. They'd dropped a six-run loss to Rajasthan Royals before this. DC had chased down Mumbai Indians in six wickets.

GT's middle order drew heat—no wins in two. Gill back. Sai Sudharsan feeling good. That lifted them into the clash. DC banked on Sameer Rizvi's middle-order sparks for the perfect streak. Mitchell Starc's sidelined injured till at least April 20.
