After returning, post getting retired hurt during the 13th over of the match against Gujarat
Titans, David Miller has struck again to take his team to the win against the Titans.Twitter is in a frenzy following the 8 April 2026 clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT), with fans divided between praising David Miller's extraordinary grit and debating the tactical decisions in the final over.
That final over was an absolute heart-stopper as Gujarat Titans (GT) managed to defend 13 runs in the 20th over to win by just 1 run against Delhi Capitals (DC).
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) are hailing Miller's resilience. After retiring hurt in the 13th over with a jammed thumb, his return to the crease and subsequent assault—scoring 41 off 19 balls*—has been described as a "masterclass in grit".A polarized debate has emerged regarding the final over. Some fans are questioning Miller’s decision to deny a single on the penultimate ball, which would have likely forced a Super Over. Others defend the choice, arguing that as the set finisher, Miller was DC's only real chance to win.

#DCvsGT If David Miller had taken that single run, he would have equalized the score and Delhi would have won the match. But why didn't David Miller take the run? Sad 😢 #DCvsGT#Davidmiller

GT beat DC in a thrilling final over
The final over of the DC vs GT clash was a classic IPL heartbreaker that came down to the very last delivery. With 13 runs needed, Prasidh Krishna started brilliantly by pinning David Miller for a single with a wide yorker, but the momentum shifted when Vipraj Nigam managed a lucky boundary and a gutsy double to bring the equation down to 6 runs off 2 balls
Watch it yourself to believe it 🤯 A nerve-wrecking finish to a #TATAIPL classic 🥶 @gujarat_titans fans, you can breathe now 😅 Updates ▶️ https://t.co/oOdPR1oSeP#TATAIPL | #KhelBindaas | #DCvGT pic.twitter.com/Wh5EQvshqd

. After Nigam ramped another boundary to leave Delhi needing just 2 runs for the win (or 1 for a Super Over) off the final ball, the stadium was at a fever pitch.
However, Krishna held his nerve, delivering a full ball outside off that Nigam miscued high into the air; Shubman Gill settled under the catch at extra cover to seal a dramatic 1-run victory for Gujarat Titans, leaving an injured but heroic Miller stranded at the non-striker's end.
