Gujarat Titans pulled off a stunning one-run win over Delhi Capitals in a nail-biting Indian Premier League 2026 clash on April 8. The match went down to the final delivery, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
Gill, Buttler And Sundar Power Gujarat To 210
Batting first, Gujarat Titans posted a formidable 210/4 in 20 overs. Captain Shubman Gill led from the front with a brilliant 70 off 45 balls, while Jos Buttler smashed a quick half-century. Washington Sundar also contributed with an aggressive knock to push the total past 200.
Rahul And Nissanka Give Delhi Strong Start
In reply, Delhi Capitals got off to a flying start thanks to KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka. The duo added a solid opening stand, with Rahul anchoring the chase with a superb 92.
