In the last over, David Miller refused to take a single run off Prasidh Krishna's second to last ball. If he had taken that run, the Gujarat Titans would have tied the score with the Delhi Capitals.
Seeing this, Shubman Gill felt that his team finally had a chance to win, even though it had seemed impossible just a moment before.
Miller missed Prasidh Krishna's slow ball, and Jos Buttler's throw was faster than Kuldeep Yadav's dive. Because of this, the Gujarat Titans beat the Delhi Capitals by just one run on Wednesday, marking their first win of the season.
What did Shubman Gill say?
"Definitely, all three games we played had gone till the last over but very pleased to got over the line. (When Miller didn't take a single), I thought, we had a chance to win," Gill said after the match.
Regarding the choice for the final ball, Shubman Gill believed that a bowler who could bowl a "slower ball" was the best option, considering how the pitch was playing.
"We decided whether to go for yorker or slower but given the wicket how it played, slower one would be difficult to hit," he said.
What happened in the match?
The Gujarat Titans beat the Delhi Capitals by just one run on Wednesday, despite a great performance by KL Rahul, who scored 92 runs off 52 balls.
With only two runs needed from the final two balls to win, David Miller made a mistake. He chose not to take a single run on the second-to-last ball from Prasidh Krishna. Then, on the very last ball, Miller missed the shot, and Kuldeep Yadav was run out by a direct throw from Jos Buttler. Shubman Gill led his team by scoring a powerful half-century, helping the Gujarat Titans (GT) reach a total of 210 runs.
Along with Gill, who scored 70 runs, Jos Buttler added a quick 52 runs, and Washington Sundar scored a fast 55. This happened after the Delhi Capitals (DC) won the toss and chose to bowl first.
For the Capitals, Mukesh Kumar and Lungi Ngidi were the most successful bowlers. During the run chase, KL Rahul played a great innings, and his 76-run opening partnership with Pathum Nissanka gave Delhi a strong start.
However, after that, most of the other Delhi batters failed to score many runs. David Miller kept the team in the game until the very last ball by scoring 41 runs, but it wasn't enough. Rashid Khan was the best bowler for Gujarat, taking three wickets.
