New Delhi, April 8 Gujarat Titans defeated Delhi Capitals by one run despite KL Rahul's heroic 92 off 52 balls in an Indian Premier League match here on Wednesday.
Needing two runs off the last two balls to reach the target of 211, David Miller had a moment of confusion when he declined a single off the penultimate delivery from Prasidh Krishna, and then missed the last delivery, with Kuldeep Yadav failing to prevent Jos Buttler from making a direct throw.
Shubman Gill led the way with a powerful half-century, helping GT post 210 for four.
Besides Gill (70 off 45 balls; 4x4s, 5x6s), Jos Buttler also contributed with an aggressive 52 off 27 deliveries, while Washington Sundar scored a fiery 55 off 32 balls after Delhi opted to bowl.
For Delhi, Mukesh Kumar (2/55) and Lungi Ngidi (1/24) were the most successful bowlers.
In pursuit, Rahul's innings proved futile, but his 76-run opening partnership in 8.1 overs with Pathum Nissanka (41 off 24) gave Delhi the momentum they needed.
However, none of the Delhi batsmen could score significantly before David Miller's unbeaten 41 off 20 balls kept them in contention until the last ball.
Rashid Khan (3/17) was the most successful bowler for Gujarat Titans.

Gujarat Titans: 210 for 4 in 20 overs (Shubman Gill 70, Washington Sundar 55, Jos Buttler 52; Mukesh Kumar 2/55, Lungi Ngidi 1/24)
