In a video shared by the franchise following the match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, Axar sought to lift spirits in the dressing room after a result that slipped through their grasp in dramatic fashion.

Chasing 211, Delhi Capitals ended at 209/8, falling just one-run short despite a late surge.

The decision, reflecting a lack of confidence in partner Kuldeep Yadav, proved costly. On the final ball, with two runs required, Prasidh delivered a slower bouncer that Miller failed to connect. Attempting a desperate run, Kuldeep was caught short of his crease as Jos Buttler effected the decisive run-out behind the stumps. A review for a wide was turned down, sealing Delhis fate.

IPL 2026: When Rashid's Back-to-basics Masterclass Turned Tide In GT's Favour
Arun Jaitley Stadium: The numbers from Wednesday nights edge of the seat thriller in IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium tell the story of a batting carnage. Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans combined to make 419 runs, including 39 fours and 21 sixes being hit. DCs spinners were at the receiving end of some blazing big-hitting from Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler and Washington Sundar to concede 97 runs in eight overs at an economy rate of 12.12. But one man refused to follow the same script Gujarat Titans leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who threw a spanner in DCs batting plans by picking 3-17 in four overs at an economy rate of 4.25 and shifted the game in his team's favour to eventually prevail by one run. The signs of Rashid having a huge say in the game came in the fifth over of the power-play, when he beat KL Rahul on the outside edge with a leg-break spinning away sharply. But it was when DC crossed 100 in 9.4 overs that Rashid finally decided to have his say. Nitish Rana miscued a googly from Rashid to a diving B Sai Sudharsan running in from long-off, just after he managed to survive an lbw review. The most telling effect, though, came when Sameer Rizvi DCs saviour both of their successful chases - was bamboozled by a googly spinning in to castle him through the gate for a golden duck. The Rizvi-Rashid match-up was one of the intriguing sub-plots in the clash and the leg-spinner prevailed in it in an emphatic fashion. Rashid would sign off from the night by foxing Axar Patel with yet another googly which gripped and spun away, as the batter sliced to extra cover. Each of Rashid's three scalps fell for single-digit scores and on the googly. The hallmark of Rashid's bowling has always been the ability to attack the stumps relentlessly, and not giving batters much room to break free. With the quicker pace he bowls, it becomes difficult to send the ball over boundary ropes, which Rana, Rizvi and Axar realised. IPL 2026 has been witness to Rashid being back to his best self after getting only ten and nine wickets in last two seasons, apart from the economy rate having an alarming spike. Rashid being taken apart frequently by batters in the last two years had a lot to do with him pushing through the pain to play the 2023 ODI World Cup and later underwent a back surgery that would rule him out until early 2024. I was told to get a back surgery after IPL 2023, but after that season, the doctor told me, You need a surgery, you can't just keep playing with that. But then, we had the 2023 ODI World Cup and I told him I wanna play this World Cup. I think I pushed myself a lot in that World Cup and after that, it was really bad - even I was not able to walk after the tournament. But thats where I had the surgery and after the surgery, I was very, very careful with my back, Rashid later said in the post-match press conference. Though the surgery repaired the structural damage, Rashids pace dropped, lengths became wayward and the zip - so essential for his ability to hurry batters and deny them room went missing. That affected my bowling action, the release and everything. So, I was trying to be careful, but with that, I missed a little bit of my rhythm. I was trying to bowl slow for 2-3-4 months, where I was not in that shape, like, before the surgery. After having a bad season (in 2025) I thought, 'okay, what's wrong now? Where I'm, what's the thing I'm missing? I felt like it was the whole rhythm, from starting to the finishing. What it was not allowing me was that there was a bit of pain in the back still. I was scared of, like, what's gonna happen if I push it again? Giving himself time off after IPL 2025 to solely work on his fitness came as a big blessing for Rashid. So, I worked on my core and tried my best to make it as strong as possible and then go on with full energy. When I had a couple of three good months off, I had a good hundred competition in the UK. So since that, things got started again. But more importantly, I try my best to just work on my fitness. That's something which I can improve and that allows my body to bowl with full rhythm. The data from Wednesdays game throws light on how Rashid was at his best self - of the 24 balls Rashid bowled, 11 landed on a good length yielding him two wickets at an economy of just 2.18. Even when he dropped short, it was more pitched on the back-of-the-length area. Where once Rashid may have loaded up with variations, he stuck to his basics and dished out a masterclass in it. Sometimes you think far ahead of the things which are not going to happen soon. If you're batting, you think about your bowling and that's something which is like you're putting an extra pressure on yourself already. For me, it's like there will be a time when you get a good wicket or a bad wicket to bowl on, and a flat wicket. But the more important thing is, when you're conceding runs on those wickets, you have to see your line and length. That's something which is more important than anything else you think about it. I feel, in the last two games, I think I bowled well, but where I conceded runs, it was just, like, the length I have missed. I shouldn't really think about, like, okay, what's the result, but the result is like if I hit the right area, the right thing is going to happen. Sometimes you think far ahead of the things which are not going to happen soon. If you're batting, you think about your bowling and that's something which is like you're putting an extra pressure on yourself already. For me, it's like there will be a time when you get a good wicket or a bad wicket to bowl on, and a flat wicket.

IPL 2026: Batters, Rashid, Prasidh Star As GT Edge DC By One Run In A Humdinger (ld)
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans edged Delhi Capitals by one run in a humdinger finish in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which will be replayed in the minds of everyone inside the Arun Jaitley Stadium for a long time to come. David Miller very nearly pulled off the impossible, but the run out of Kuldeep Yadav on the last ball led to one of the great IPL finishes going in GTs favour, as they got their first win of IPL 2026. Fifties from a returning Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, and Washington Sundar had powered GT to 210 for 4, a total that looked competitive but gettable. Buttler was back to his devastating best with the bat by hitting a 27-ball 52, laced with three fours and five towering sixes. Gill, back in action after a muscle spasm in his neck ruled him out in the last game, was elegant in collecting the majority of his runs through leg-side to top-score with 70 off 45 balls, laced with four boundaries and five sixes. He also shared a commanding 104-run partnership with Sundar, who hit his first IPL fifty via a 32-ball 55, studded with six boundaries and two sixes. For DC, Lungi Ngidi changed the complexion at the back end with his slower balls to end up with 1-24 in his four overs, even as the rest of his bowling counterparts had an economy rate above eight. But Miller had been extraordinary -- arriving at the crease with Delhi still some distance from the target, he retired hurt on 12 due to an injured left hand. When he came back, boundaries came in clusters off his bat. Miller ended up at 41 not out off 20 balls, but it wasn't enough to give DC a win, as they ended up at 209/8. The pivotal moment came with two runs needed off two balls: Miller turned down a single off the penultimate ball, gambling on finishing it himself rather than trusting Kuldeep with the equation. Prasidh, with nerves of steel, denied him the winning finish with a short, slower ball, as Kuldeep was run out by a sharp throw from Jos Buttler, leaving Miller and DC heartbroken. KL Rahul had given Delhi every reason to believe with a fluent 92 off 52 balls, laced with 11 fours and four sixes. But Rashid Khan had done the bulk of the damage with the ball through figures of 3-17 to keep GT alive in the game, as they eventually won the match in a dramatic fashion. Sai Sudharsan got GT's innings moving with a clip and a backfoot drive through backward point off Mukesh Kumar, but holed out cheaply to the pacer after chopping onto his stumps. That brought Buttler to the crease, and his vintage version duly arrived. He lofted Mukesh for six, went inside-out against Axar for four and six, and then made Mukesh's third over a feast -- a scoop over fine leg, a flat six down the ground, a lofted drive over extra cover, as 23 runs came off it. Buttler eventually reached fifty in 24 balls, before Kuldeep's short ball, skidding through low as he went for the pull, castled him. Gill, who had watched from the other end with quiet satisfaction, then found his partner in Sundar. Their 104-run partnership was full of attacking shots and elegant timing at its core -- Sundar pulling three consecutive short balls from Vipraj Nigam for boundaries, including a no-ball that added a free hit, before Gill dispatched a full toss flat over the bowler's head. Gill brought up his fifty in 33 balls and kept accelerating, pulling and lofting Kuldeep for a brace of sixes, before Ngidi's slower ball ended his stay at 70. Washington brought up his first IPL fifty off 33 balls before miscuing to mid-off. A brace of boundaries from Glenn Phillips took GT to exactly 210. It was a good total - though the 58 runs from the last six overs, with eight wickets in hand, lingered as a question. Delhi's pursuit began brightly - Pathum Nissanka smashed three fours off Siraj in the first over, timing each drive with an unhurried elegance. Rahul found his rhythm quickly - a pick-up flick off Rabada, a six over long leg, and then Nissanka demolished Ashok Sharma's final powerplay over for 23 runs, including a flat six over mid-off and an inside-out drive over cover off the slower ball. Prasidh had Nissanka holing out for 41, but Rahul shifted gears entirely -- a nonchalant loft over Prasidh's head, and then a six over long-off. A pull past square leg and a cut behind point helped Rahul register a magnificent 29-ball fifty and break free from his lean run. Then came Rashid's pivotal tenth over: Nitish Rana survived an lbw review off a googly, only to hole out the next ball. Sameer Rizvi, in form and dangerous, was bowled for a duck, the googly again doing the damage, giving Rashid his 1000th wicket across formats. Rahul kept Delhi afloat almost single-handedly -he lofted Washington for six, thumped Prasidh over extra cover for four, and hit through the line repeatedly to keep the rate in check. But Rashid struck again to remove Axar Patel, who came after Miller retired hurt on 12. But overthrows and a misfield at long-on by Sudharsan gave DC momentum. Then Rahul, eight short of a century, nicked behind off a wide delivery from Siraj, after Tristan Stubbs was run out. DC needed 36 off 12 balls when Miller returned and threatened to get the game in his teams favour. Two sixes off Siraj, then a no-look six over long-on that brought the crowd to its feet, as 23 runs came off the 19th over. GT were penalised for a slow over-rate, which brought the final over under pressure. Vipraj Nigam lofted Prasidh for four, but then holed out. Miller whacked Prasidh over long-off for six. Two needed off two balls and then the decision that will be dissected endlessly: Miller turned down a single off the penultimate ball, backing himself to finish off the match. Prasidh bowled a slower bumper, which Miller swung and missed, and Buttler's underarm throw onto the stumps caught Kuldeep well short of the crease. After a drama-filled review, it became clear that the decision would stand, thus giving GT their first IPL 2026 win. Miller walked off with emotions writ large on his face after all his efforts werent enough to get DC over the line. As celebrations filled the GT camp, DC were left to wonder what might have been had that single been taken. Prasidh bowled a slower bumper, which Miller swung and missed, and Buttler's underarm throw onto the stumps caught Kuldeep well short of the crease. After a drama-filled review, it became clear that the decision would stand, thus giving GT their first IPL 2026 win.
