Shubman Gill fined ₹12 lakh after Gujarat Titans’ thrilling 1-run IPL 2026 win over Delhi Capitals. Rashid Khan shines as Titans edge past DC.
IPL 2026: Shubman Gill fined ₹12 lakh following Gujarat Titans’ nail-biting 1-run victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Despite posting a massive total of 210/4 and a remarkable 3-wicket haul from Rashid Khan, the Titans’ win was overshadowed by a disciplinary action against their captain.
Shubman Gill Fined for Slow Over-Rate Offence
The IPL governing body confirmed that the Titans maintained a slow over-rate during the high-pressure chase. Under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, this marks the first offence of the season for Gujarat Titans. Consequently, Shubman Gill fined ₹12 lakh immediately after the match.
Updated IPL 2026 rules mean repeated offences will attract harsher penalties: a second offence will double the fine, and a third offence will impose severe financial penalties on both the captain and playing XI.

Rashid Khan Turns the Game Around
Delhi Capitals had a flying start with KL Rahul smashing 92 off 52 balls and Pathum Nissanka contributing 41 runs. At 97/1 after nine overs, Delhi looked poised for victory. However, Rashid Khan’s introduction changed the course of the game. The Afghan leg-spinner bowled four overs for 3/17, dismantling Delhi’s middle order. Notable dismissals included Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, and Axar Patel.
Last-Ball Drama for David Miller
The final over was intense, with Delhi needing 13 runs to win. David Miller brought the equation down to 2 runs from 2 balls but failed to capitalize on the last delivery, missing Prasidh Krishna’s slow bouncer. A desperate attempt at a bye led to Kuldeep Yadav running Miller out, leaving Delhi stranded at 209/8.
Implications of Shubman Gill Fined
The incident highlights IPL 2026’s strict enforcement of over-rate rules. While Shubman Gill fined ₹12 lakh this time, repeated lapses could cost him and the team heavily, affecting their financial standing and overall morale. Despite the fine, the Gujarat Titans can celebrate their hard-fought victory, thanks to Rashid Khan’s brilliant bowling and Prasidh Krishna’s nerve under pressure.
