Delhi Capitals’ defeat and Gujarat’s victory currently remain a topic of big discussion in IPL 2026. Delhi was winning this match easily, it had to score two runs in two balls but Miller refused to take one run and he could not play a big shot on the last ball due to which Kuldeep Yadav was run out. However, David Mir is not alone responsible for this defeat. Before David Miller, KL Rahul also made a mistake which ultimately became the reason for Delhi’s defeat. One voice of KL Rahul became the reason for Gujarat’s victory and Delhi’s defeat. Let us tell you how?
KL Rahul raised his voice and then there was an uproar.
KL Rahul made a mistake in the 17th over, when he ran out Tristan Stubbs. KL Rahul called him for the first run and then suddenly refused Stubbs, as a result this player was run out. After this wicket the match completely changed. After stubs, KL Rahul was also out in the next two balls. The result was that the pressure came on other batsmen. David Miller took the match to the end on the basis of his hitting but he also made a mistake on the last two balls. As a result, Delhi team lost the won match.
R Ashwin also cursed Rahul-Miller
After Delhi’s defeat, R Ashwin also mentioned the mistakes of KL Rahul and David Miller. In his live, he said that it was KL Rahul’s fault that he made Stubbs run out. I had said in my preview that Delhi will find some way or the other to get out of the tournament. Rahul cursed David Miller fiercely. He said, ‘I wonder what could have happened to David Miller. If I were Kuldeep, I would have pushed David Miller to the other end. I can’t understand what Miller was thinking, it’s absolutely crazy. Ashwin further said, ‘If you want four or six runs, then the decision of not running was right. But if you need 2 runs in 2 balls then you can at least take one run. Even if Kuldeep had been bowled, the match would have been tied, so that too would have been good for you. I’m sure David Miller would be very disappointed at this point. I cannot understand his thinking.
