DC vs GT Highlights: KL Rahul fought valiantly, scoring 92 off 52 balls, but Gujarat Titans’ brilliant bowling display ensured a one-run win over Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium, denying the hosts on their home turf.
Miller (41 runs off 20 balls) appeared visibly emotional after the game. He carried Delhi Capitals deep into the contest but narrowly missed finishing the job. That crucial denied single on the fifth ball of the final over could have sent the match into a Super Over. Despite the heartbreak, Miller took responsibility and gave his all, ultimately coming just short of a match-winning finish on the final ball of 20th over.
