Delhi Capitals' Heartbreaking Record

In a recent match on April 9, the Delhi Capitals (DC) have unfortunately established a record for the most one-run losses in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

This marks their fourth such defeat, previously losing to the Chennai Super Kings in 2015, the Gujarat Lions in 2016, and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2021. Their latest loss came against the Gujarat Titans during the ongoing IPL season.

In a thrilling encounter, the Gujarat Titans narrowly defeated the Delhi Capitals by just one run. With two runs needed off the final ball, DC's David Miller failed to connect with Prasidh Krishna's delivery. A remarkable direct hit from GT's wicket-keeper Jos Buttler resulted in Kuldeep Yadav's run-out as he attempted a risky single, clinching a dramatic win for the Titans.

The Titans have a history of securing victories by slim margins in IPL matches. This latest win against the Capitals is their closest yet, while they also have notable narrow victories, including a 6-run win over the Mumbai Indians in 2024, a 7-run win against the Lucknow Super Giants in 2023, and an 8-run victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2022.

Following this match, the Delhi Capitals find themselves in fourth place on the points table with two wins and one loss, while the Gujarat Titans are positioned sixth with one win and two losses, marking the end of DC's winning streak this season.
