Thrill Win for Gujarat: Prasidh's Last-Over Heroics Seal 1-Run Victory
Gujarat Titans pulled off a thrilling 1-run win against Delhi Capitals, thanks to Prasidh Krishna's last-over heroics.

Thirty-six needed off 12. A bruised finger that didn’t make it easy for him to grip the bat had forced David Miller to retire hurt with Delhi Capitals needing 81 off 42. But when Tristan Stubbs was run out in the 17th over, Miller returned hoping to play second fiddle to KL Rahul.
DC ended up getting five off a pin-point yorker that was jammed back, because Gill fired a wayward four over-throws with no one backing up. And another boundary off a flat hit to long-on that would've been one on most nights, except this time Sai Sudharsan threw himself full stretch to go for the catch.
Rashid Khan's magic! He brought Gujarat Titans back into the game with some brilliant bowling, taking crucial wickets and putting pressure on Delhi Capitals. His all-round skills are proving to be a huge asset for GT. First, Nitish Rana is given out lbw attempting a reverse-sweep off a wrong'un, only for the decision to be reversed upon review.
But Nitish can't make the most of the reprieve as he holes out to long-off. Then off the first ball, the in-form Sameer Rizvi is bowled as he fails to pick a wrong'un.
