It was a perfect roller coaster that concluded with Gujarat Titans edging past Delhi Capitals by the narrowest of margins-one run. DC were out of the game after losing KL Rahul, needing 45 off the last 18 balls. David Miller played an incredible knock of 41 off 20, taking DC close, but he just could not finish the game, with Prasidh Krishna holding his nerve beautifully in the final two balls.

GUJARAT TITANS WIN BY 1 RUN! Prasidh Krishna beat David Miller with a slower short ball and the Delhi Capitals batters tried to steal a single. Wicketkeeper Jos Buttler effected a direct-hit, sealing the victory for Gujarat Titans. It was referred upstairs to check for a wide, but the TV umpire felt it was a legal delivery.

Prasidh Krishna missed his yorker and David Miller smashed him for a massive SIX. It went too high and also covered a long distance. It's 106 metres. Delhi Capitals need 2 runs in 2 balls.

Vipraj Nigam is GONE! He smashed Prasidh Krishna for a four on the first delivery but ends up losing his wicket the next ball. Delhi Capitals need 9 runs in 4 balls. The match is on! Any team could win it!

DC 202-7 (19.2)

Mohammed Siraj has leaked 23 runs in his final over. Delhi Capitals, who earlier had only an outside chance, are the favourites here. DC need 13 runs off six balls against Gujarat Titans. What a match this is turning out to be! Prasidh Krishna will bowl the final over.

DC 198-6 (19)

6, 4, 6 – David Miller, you beauty!!! The South African southpaw has smashed Mohammed Siraj for two sixes and a four off the first three deliveries. All the shots were preceded by a wide. Delhi Capitals need 19 runs off 9 balls. They could win it!

Nine runs came off the final over from Kagiso Rabada. He ends his quota with figures of 0 for 32. Delhi Capitals need 36 runs off 12 balls. Can David Miller pull off a miracle for them? It is extremely tough, but certainly not impossible.

DC 175-6 (18)

WICKET! KL Rahul falls for 92 off 52 balls. He has edged this one to the wicketkeeper. This might be the game for Gujarat Titans. Delhi Capitals need 45 runs off 18 balls. David Miller, who had earlier retired hurt, comes in to bat.

Rahul c Jos Buttler b Mohammed Siraj 92(52)

DC 166-6 (17)

Tristan Stubbs has been run out! KL Rahul has sold him down the river. Rahul struck the ball to the right of mid-on and ran to take a single. After taking a couple of steps, he denied the run, leaving Stubbs in all sorts of trouble. Sai Sudharsan picked up the ball and hit the bull’s eye at the non-striker’s end.  

DC 160-5 (16.4)

Sixteen runs came off the third over from Ashok Sharma. KL Rahul smashed the pacer for a four, while Delhi Capitals also got a boundary after a direct throw from Shubman Gill deflected off the stumps and ran away to the fence. Delhi Capitals need 53 runs off 24 balls.

DC 158-4 (16)

Superb over from Kagiso Rabada! He conceded only eight runs in his third over. Delhi Capitals need 69 runs off 30 balls. The asking rate is now edging close to 14. They will, however, stay hopeful as long as KL Rahul is there in the middle. The DC opener is 77 not out off 43 balls.

DC 142-4 (15)

Rashid Khan has removed Axar Patel on the final ball of his spell. He finishes his quota with figures of 3 for 17. Axar tried to smash Rashid for a biggie and ended up slicing it to the fielder at extra cover. Delhi Capitals need 77 runs in 36 balls.

Axar Patel c Glenn Phillips b Rashid Khan 2(3)

DC 134-4 (14)

Good shot from KL Rahul for a four! It was a fuller ball from Prasidh Krishna outside off-stump and Rahul thew the kitchen sink to it. He ended up slicing the ball through covers for a four.

David Miller is retired hurt. He seems to be having some problem on his left hand. Axar Patel replces him in the middle.

DC 130-3 (13)

Ashok Sharma was brought into the attack and managed to keep it an economical over. Only six runs came off it. Delhi Capitals need 93 runs off 48 balls. They have their hopes pinned on set batter KL Rahul. Prasidh Krishna will bowl the next over.

DC 118-3 (12)

This has been a match-turning over from Rashid Khan! He removed Nitish Rana and Sameer Rizvi off the final two balls of his over to end his third over. If he strikes on the first ball of his final over, it will be a hat-trick for him. Gujarat Titans are back in the game!

DC 101-3 (10)

4, 6, 6, 4 – KL Rahul goes berserk against Prasidh Krishna and races to his half-century in just 29 balls! This has been a stunning counter-attack from the Delhi Capitals opener, who was dismissed for 0 and 1 in the first two games.

DC 97-1 (9)

OUT! Prasidh Krishna provides Gujarat Titans with the first breakthrough! He has dismissed Pathum Nissanka! It was a back of the length ball, and Nissanka wanted to hit it over mid-off but failed to get the elevation.

DC 76-1 (8.1)

That was turning out to be an exceptional over from Prasidh Krishna, but KL Rahul spoiled it a bit with a four on the final delivery. Krishna bowled a good-length ball outside off stump, and Rahul lofted it over extra cover for the boundary. Eight runs came off the over.

DC 71-0 (7)

Ashok Sharma has been smashed for 23 runs in his first over. KL Rahul began with a four before Pathum Nissanka took charge. The Sri Lankan batter smashed three fours and one six. Delhi Capitals need 148 runs off 84 balls.

DC 63-0 (6)

A fuller ball from Kagiso Rabada, and KL Rahul plays a nonchalant flick for a SIX over deep square leg. What a terrific shot this from the Delhi Capitals opener, who failed to fire in the first two games but has started beautifully here.

DC 36-0 (3.5)

That was a good over from Kagiso Rabada as he conceded only six runs. KL Rahul smashed the pacer for a four, slamming the ball over wide mid-on. Mohammed Siraj will continue to bowl from the other end.

DC 20-0 (2)

A fuller ball from Mohammed Siraj and Pathum Nissanka has driven it away for a stunning four down the ground. It was a picture-perfect shot from the Sri Lankan batter. Fourteen came off the first over.

DC 14-0 (1)

Pathum Nissanka took the strike tonight with KL Rahul at the other end. He started with a dot ball and then smashed Mohammed Siraj for two consecutive fours.

DC 8-0 (0.3)

A four from Glenn Phillips to end the over of Mukesh Kumar. 13 came off it. Gujarat Titans have posted a total of 210 on the board. Shubman Gill scored 70 while Washington Sundar hit his maiden IPL fifty. Jos Buttler also contributed with a quickfire half-century.

GT 210-4 (20)

Washington Sundar is OUT after scoring 55 off 32! It was a low full toss from Mukesh Kumar, and the Gujarat Titans southpaw got underneath it, but the bat twisted as he made contact off the outer half. The ball carried to Nitish Rana at extra cover.

Washington Sundar c Nitish Rana b Mukesh Kumar 55(32)

GT 205-4 (19.3)

A low full toss from T Natarajan and Washington Sundar has slammed it for a BIGGIE over deep square leg. The fielder there saw it sail over his head. Sundar raced to his fifty in only 30 balls. He followed it up with a four. Thirteen came off the over. 

GT 198-3 (19)

Shubman Gill departs! It was a slower ball from Lungi Ngidi, and Gill failed to smash it for a big one, ending up slicing it high in the air. The extra-cover fielder, Nitish Rana, ran to his right and took the catch. The 104-run partnership for the third wicket has been broken.

Shubman Gill c Nitish Rana b Lungi Ngidi 70(45)

GT 183-3 (17.3)

T Natarajan bowled an economical over. He conceded only seven runs in it. Only one boundary came in the over, it was smashed by Shubman Gill through the cow corner.

GT 168-2 (16)

A four on the leg side! Shubman Gill slams his fifty in 33 balls! He was off to a slow start but paced his innings really well after the Powerplay. Gujarat Titans are 160/2 in 14.5 overs against Delhi Capitals.

Ten came off the third over from Axar Patel. David Miller dropped a tough catch of Shubman Gill on the second ball, before Washington Sundar slammed a boundary on the fifth delivery through cow corner. In the over, Gujarat Titans also crossed the 150-run mark.

GT 152-2 (14)

Vipraj Nigam was handed the ball and ended up leaking 23 runs in the over. Washington Sundar smashed him for two fours and a six before Shubman Gill also joined the party with a straight six down the ground.

GT 133-2 (12)

T Natarajan conceded nine runs in his second over. On the fourth delivery, he bowled on the pads of Washington Sundar as the batter shuffled across and pulled it over short fine leg for a four. It is turning out to be a good partnership for the third wicket.

GT 110-2 (11)

Shubman Gill finally managed to get a boundary. Kuldeep Yadav bowled a fuller delivery on the pads of the right-handed batter, who slog-swept it for a BIGGIE over backward square leg. Eleven runs came off the over. During the over, Gujarat Titans also crossed the 100-run mark.

GT 101-2 (10)

7.3 – That was a short ball from Kuldeep Yadav, and it also kept low. Jos Buttler failed to spot it and ended up losing his wicket. The ball crashed into his stumps. Gujarat Titans are two down.

Jos Buttler slams a fifty in just 24 balls! This is the first fifty for the wicketkeeper-batter in IPL 2026. He never let the Delhi Capitals bowlers settle in the Powerplay with his consistent attack. Gujarat Titans are 72/1 in 6.3 overs.

After a confident start in the first two overs, Gujarat Titans lost Sai Sudharsan. Jos Buttler then came in and smashed the Delhi Capitals bowlers quite comfortably. He is batting on 47 off just 22 balls. Delhi Capitals badly need a breakthrough as Buttler and Shubman Gill have added 50 runs off 24 balls so far.

GT 68-1 (6)

This is batting of the highest quality from Jos Buttler. He smashed Mukesh Kumar for three sixes and a four in the fifth over. A total of 23 runs came off it. Gujarat Titans are dictating terms at the moment.

GT 63-1 (5)

Jos Buttler goes across and scoops that Mukesh Kumar delivery over fine leg for a BIGGIE. Oh, my God! Buttler follows that up with a stunning six to the wide of long-on. It's raining sixes here at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

GT 52-1 (4.2)

Mukesh Kumar was hit for a six over long-on by Jos Buttler on the fifth delivery. A total of nine runs and a wicket came from the over. Despite losing Sai Sudharsan, GT are scoring at nine runs per over.

GT 27-1 (3)

WICKET for Delhi Capitals! Mukesh Kumar has dismissed Sai Sudharsan! It was a back-of-a-length ball, angling away from the Gujarat Titans southpaw. Sudharsan tried to cut it but ended up getting an inside edge onto the stumps.

Sai Sudharsan b Mukesh Kumar 12(7) 

GT 19-1 (2.1)

Good start for Lungi Ngidi. He conceded only seven runs in his first one.

GT 18-0 (2)

11 runs came off the first over from Mukesh Kumar. While Sai Sudharsan slammed a four first ball, Shubman Gill too hit a four through backward point. Both the batters looked quite comfortable in the first over.

GT 11-0 (1)

Sai Sudharsan kicks off the Gujarat Titans innings with a four. It was a short of length ball from Mukesh Kumar and the GT opener clipped it for a four through mid-wicket.

Gujarat Titans: Prasidh Krishna, Jason Holder, Manav Suthar, Jayant Yadav, Anuj Rawat.

Delhi Capitals: Ashutosh Sharma, Auqib Nabi Dar, Sameer Rizvi, Dushmantha Chameera, Karun Nair.

Gujarat Titans XI vs DC: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Ashok Sharma.

Straight swap as Gill replaces Kushagra. No changes otherwise for GT despite two losses in a row. Jason Holder remains on the bench.

Delhi Capitals XI vs GT: KL Rahul (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Vipraj Nigam, Axar Patel (c), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar.

Sameer Rizvi will almost certainly be the Impact Player.

Delhi Capitals opts to bowl! Shubman Gill is back for Gujarat Titans, but he doesn't call right, and Axar Patel wins the toss. DC stick with the same playing XI, despite concerns over their top order.

The scanner is firmly on KL Rahul, who has scored just 1 run so far in 2 games. Rahul was dismissed for a golden duck in DC's first game against LSG, and then managed just 1 run in the second game against MI. Usually one of the most consistent batters in the IPL, can he finally make his first big score of the 2026 season today?

We are just about 15 minutes away from toss time at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. It will be interesting to see what the toss-winning captain elects to do. "Runs galore" is the message from Kevin Pietersen and Daren Ganga from the pitch report.

Today's game is set to feature a number of players who are regulars for India in international cricket. KL Rahul, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will play for Delhi Capitals, while Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Sai Sudharsan will turn out for Gujarat Titans.

West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder was Gujarat Titans' most expensive buy at the IPL 2026 auction, at Rs 7 crore. However, despite being in great form in the T20 World Cup, he is yet to get a game. Following Rabada's heroics with the bat the other night, it is unlikely he will be dropped. That means Holder's only way into the playing XI is in place of New Zealand's Glenn Phillips, who has had two average outings with the bat so far.

There is no rain at the moment at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. We have just over half an hour to go, and there appears to be no sign of rain. After two rain-affected games in a row, this is great news for fans of the IPL.

So far, Sameer Rizvi has come in as the Impact Player at No. 4 for DC. However, given the poor start to the season made by Nitish Rana, we could see Rizvi make a permanent entry into the XI, with Rana or Ashutosh Sharma being the Impact Player.

Bowling-wise, there is unlikely to be a change, although DC's Rs 8.4 crore buy Auqib Nabi is yet to get a game.

Shubman Gill is likely to come back in for 21-year-old uncapped batter Kumar Kushagra, who had filled Gill's boots in the previous game and opened the batting. However, it will be interesting to see whether Kushagra gets a spot lower down the order, given the poor form of GT's Indian middle order batters.

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill is expected to be back in action today. Gill missed out on GT's last game due to a neck spasm, but opening partner Sai Sudharsan confirmed on Tuesday that the 26-year-old is fit to play against DC today.

Gujarat Titans were top of the table for a large portion of IPL 2025, and ultimately finished third in the ladder. But their IPL 2026 campaign has gotten off to a poor start, as they've lost their first two games. They'll be desperate to get off the mark today.

The Capitals are in fantastic form, having notched up two wins from their opening two games. In particular, DC's bowling unit has been firing on all cylinders, while they have been guided to victory in the chases by the sensational form of uncapped Indian batter Sameer Rizvi.

A big win today could even send them top of the IPL 2026 points table.

According to AccuWeather, there is a 15% chance of rain in the hour leading up to the game. In case of a late downpour, we could see the toss get delayed. Thankfully, the forecast for rain after 7 PM is nil, so we should have a full game today.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the IPL 2026 clash between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans. We are at the Arun Jaitley Stadium today, in India's capital of New Delhi, for what is a match of two teams with contrasting fortunes so far.
