Despite the off-field setback, Gujarat Titans delivered the first last-over thriller of this IPL season. Needing 13 runs off the final over, Gill entrusted the ball to Prasidh Krishna, who had recently impressed as an Impact Player. Krishna kept his nerves in check, restricting the in-form David Miller and ensuring that Delhi fell short by just one run.
The match’s conclusion sparked debate after Miller’s decision on the penultimate delivery to deny a single to Kuldeep Yadav backfired. Miller hit a six, bringing the equation to two runs needed off two balls, but refused to give the strike to Kuldeep. On the final delivery, Kuldeep was run out, denying Delhi a third consecutive win.
