NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals (DC) hold the unwanted record for the most one-run defeats in Indian Premier League (IPL) history.
Having suffered four such heartbreaks, against Chennai Super Kings (2015), Gujarat Lions (2016), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (2021), and their most recent came against Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL on Wednesday here.
In a nail-biting IPL 2026 clash, the Gujarat Titans edged out the Delhi Capitals by just 1 run. Needing two runs off the final delivery, DC’s David Miller missed Prasidh Krishna’s delivery, and a brilliant direct hit from GT wicket-keeper Jos Buttler ran out Kuldeep Yadav as he attempted a desperate single, sealing a dramatic victory for GT.
Watch it yourself to believe it 🤯
