Gujarat Titans secured a narrow one-run victory over Delhi Capitals in a thrilling IPL 2026 match. The former India batting coach, Sanjay Bangar, highlighted David Miller’s crucial hesitation during the chase, suggesting that his indecision cost Delhi Capitals valuable points. With two runs needed off the last two balls, Miller’s refusal to take a single on the penultimate ball intensified the pressure.
A dramatic turn of events unfolded as Miller missed a pull shot on the final ball, resulting in a run-out of Kuldeep Yadav by a brilliant under-arm direct hit from GT wicket-keeper Jos Buttler. Sanjay Bangar emphasized the pivotal moment when Vipraj Nigam got dismissed, shifting the responsibility entirely onto Miller. Despite Miller’s impressive six over long-off, his hesitation in decision-making towards the end potentially prevented Delhi Capitals from forcing a Super Over.
Sanjay Bangar also commended GT skipper Shubman Gill for his composed 70-run innings at the top of the order. Gill’s partnerships with aggressive Jos Buttler and Washington Sundar, who scored 52 and 55 respectively, played a crucial role in anchoring Gujarat Titans’ batting performance. Gill’s ability to stay at the crease, build partnerships, and deliver impactful shots when needed significantly influenced the outcome of the match.
