Gill fined ₹12 lakh as GT edge DC in last-ball IPL thriller
Gill fined ₹12 lakh for slow over-rate as GT edge DC by one run in New Delhi, marking GT's first win of IPL 2026 in a dramatic finish.
Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill was fined ₹12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during their IPL 2026 clash with Delhi Capitals in New Delhi. GT edged DC by a single run in a high-scoring cliffhanger, sealing their first win of the season on April 8, 2026.
The penalty underscores how every over counts in the IPL, where officials enforce over-rate rules as teams chase big totals and late drama.
The match delivered a dramatic finish, with GT's bowlers restricting DC in the final overs and clinching victory on the last ball of the chase. The one-run margin kept fans on the edge as Delhi fell just short of a successful chase.
With this win, GT move to the early points table and send a message about their tournament intent, while Gill will be hoping the on-field focus remains on performance as the season progresses.
