Delhi’s chase was anchored by KL Rahul, who struck 92 off 52 balls, while Pathum Nissanka added 41 to give the hosts a strong start. The game shifted in the middle overs when Rashid Khan broke Delhi’s rhythm with key wickets, and although David Miller returned after retiring hurt to launch a late counterattack, Gujarat still found a way through in a tense finish. Miller remained unbeaten on 41 off 20 balls, but his late effort was not enough to take Delhi over the line.
The decisive moment came in the final over when Delhi needed two runs from the last two balls. Miller turned down a single on the penultimate delivery in search of the winning boundary, but failed to connect off the final ball. As Delhi attempted a desperate run, Jos Buttler hit the stumps directly to run out Kuldeep Yadav and seal Gujarat’s first win of the campaign.
For Gujarat, the result could prove to be a turning point after a slow start to the season, while Delhi will take confidence from Rahul’s fluent knock despite the heartbreak. Rashid Khan was named Player of the Match as Gujarat finally opened their account in IPL 2026 with one of the most gripping finishes of the tournament so far
