In a tense IPL 2026 match, David Miller (Delhi Capitals batsman) faced criticism after his decision to refuse a single, resulting in a heartbreaking one-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. With Delhi Capitals needing two runs off the last two balls, Miller's choice to remain at the crease instead of allowing Kuldeep Yadav to take the strike proved costly. The match ended with DC at 209/8, just short of the target of 211, marking their first loss of the season following victories against the Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. Miller's performance included a notable 41 runs off 20 balls, but the final delivery bowled by Prasidh Krishna sealed DC's fate. In the aftermath, Miller was seen alone, reflecting on the loss, before receiving support from head coach Hemang Badani and teammates Axar Patel and Kagiso Rabada. Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar defended Miller's decision, acknowledging the pressure of the moment and praising the quality of Krishna's delivery.
