In the IPL 2026 match, Delhi Capitals faced a narrow defeat against Gujarat Titans, losing by just 1 run. The pivotal moment came when batter David Miller opted against taking a single on the second-to-last ball, a decision that has drawn ire from former player Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin, who has previously played for Delhi, expressed his astonishment at Miller's choice, stating that he would have insisted on taking the single if he were in the position of Kuldeep Yadav, the non-striker. With only 2 runs needed from the final 2 balls, Ashwin emphasized that the decision to retain strike lacked logic, especially when a single could have provided a chance to tie the game. He highlighted that such decisions can shake team confidence and inadvertently boost the morale of the opposition. Ashwin's remarks underscore the high stakes and pressure of competitive cricket, where every decision can have significant consequences.
