IPL 2026- DC vs GT: Gujarat Titans (GT) achieved their first win of IPL 2026 on Wednesday. In the third match of the season, GT got its first win against Delhi Capitals (DC) by 1 run at its home ground Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium. Along with the win, Rashid Khan’s return to form in this match has been very satisfying for GT.

David Warner’s mistake is being said to be a major reason for GT’s 1-run win against Delhi Capitals. Miller did not take a single on the fifth ball of the 20th over of DC’s innings and then due to Kuldeep Yadav being run out on the last ball, DC had to face defeat by one run. Miller, who brought DC to the threshold of victory by scoring 41 runs in 20 balls, could not lead the team to victory. His mistake is also the reason for the team’s defeat, but GT will be satisfied with the victory along with the return of main spinner Rashid Khan to form in the match which was rained with runs.

Rashid Khan played a decisive role with the ball in the victory of Gujarat Titans. While Siraj and Prasidh Krishna gave away 52-52 runs in a spell of 4-4 overs, Rashid took 3 wickets for just 17 runs in 4 overs. This right-arm leg spinner dismissed Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi and Akshar Patel. Rashid, who wrote the story of DC’s defeat with his economical and effective bowling in this match in which it rained runs, was given the title of Player of the Match.

The tournament is still in its first phase. GT has played only three matches of the season. In such a situation, Rashid Khan’s return to form on a pitch where batting was easy is pleasant for GT. GT will expect similar performance from Rashid in the upcoming matches also. At the same time, Rashid’s return to form has definitely increased the troubles of the opposition batsmen.

Rashid Khan was not in form for a long time. In IPL 2025, Rashid could take only 9 wickets in 15 matches. His economy was also 9.35. IPL 2024 was also not good for Rashid. That season Rashid could take 10 wickets in 12 matches. Economy was 8.40.

Talking about the match, Gujarat Titans, batting first, scored 210 runs for 4 wickets. DC could score 209 runs for 8 wickets.
