Gujarat Titans secured its first win of the season with a one-run victory over the hosts in a high-scoring cliffhanger on Wednesday.
“Gujarat Titans (GT) Captain Shubman Gill has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 14 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi,” said an IPL media advisory.
“As this was his team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Gill was fined INR 12 lakh,” it added.
In a nail-biting contest, David Miller had a momentary lapse in judgment, refusing a single off the penultimate delivery from Prasidh Krishna before missing the final ball.
Kuldeep Yadav then failed to get past Jos Buttler’s direct hit, as Delhi Capitals finished at 209 for eight in its chase of Titans’ 210.
Gujarat Titans will next take on Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Sunday, while Delhi Capitals is set to face Chennai Super Kings in Chennai on Saturday.

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill remains a fitness watch ahead of Wednesday’s IPL clash against Delhi Capitals after missing the previous game with a muscle spasm.
Gill had sat out the contest against Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad, where visuals showed him heavily bandaged around the shoulder and neck area. The concern is not entirely new. The 26-year-old had also dealt with neck spasms during India’s 2025-26 home Test season, raising questions about recurrence and workload management.
However, there was a positive update on Tuesday as Gill returned to training.
In Gill’s absence, Gujarat Titans pushed Rajasthan Royals to the brink, falling just six runs short while chasing 210. That performance could influence team management’s decision, allowing them the luxury of not rushing their captain back unless he is fully fit.
If cleared, Gill will slot straight back into the XI. If not, Titans may once again take the field with Rashid Khan as captain

#IPL #Sai #Sudharsan #evolving #T20 #batter">IPL 2026: Sai Sudharsan wants to keep evolving as T20 batter
In B. Sai Sudharsan’s case, it is usually his exquisite timing and effortless ability to pierce gaps that aid his prolific run-making.
He isn’t one to bludgeon the cricket ball, and yet he managed to achieve a strike-rate of 156.17 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year whilst compiling a chart-topping 759 runs for Gujarat Titans.
Impressive as that is, batters around the world are constantly enhancing their power game and pushing the envelope. Does that influence Sudharsan to tweak his own style?

“The sport is definitely evolving, and T20 batting is getting greater and greater every season or even every five to six months. It’s very important to learn from it and be versatile enough to have that in my kitty and equip myself with that. So, definitely there are improvements to be made, and of course I’m looking at it,” the 24-year-old left-hand batter told reporters on Tuesday.
Probed on a specific area that he worked on in the tune-up to this season, Sudharsan pointed to preparing for steep run chases. “The biggest awareness I had was if we are going to chase something really big, how I’m going to approach the innings. So it was just about awareness and mindset,” he revealed.
Though Sudharsan forms a robust top-three for GT alongside Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, there is a sense that the middle-order is fragile. “We believe in our middle-order. This is the team in which we played last year and we qualified,” the southpaw asserted.
