Tristan Stubbs nudged a yorker to mid-off for a quick single as Delhi Capitals chased 210 against Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. It looked like nothing. A soft nudge, a routine single, the kind of dot-into-one rotation that passes without comment in a T20 chase. The chase would eventually come down to the final delivery, which meant every run on the scorecard mattered, including the ones that shouldn't have been there.
Shubman Gill sprinted in from mid-off and collected the ball cleanly before firing at the striker's end, aiming for a direct hit. The throw clipped the stumps and deflected into open space. No GT fielder had backed up. The ball rolled to the boundary while Stubbs jogged across for the single, with four overthrows added on top. One touch on the stumps, and a single had turned into a five.
The GT dugout camera caught Ashish Nehra mid-expletive. The head coach's Hindi outburst was loud enough to register on the broadcast, and the clip went viral within minutes. Not least because the five runs had come from a throw by his own captain. DC were still batting. The target was still live. Nehra's frustration was the kind only visible when the fielding side has handed something back it can't take away.

GT had posted 210 in 20 overs batting first in Match 14 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 8, 2026. DC finished on 209 for 8, one run short. That was the exact margin of the overthrow Gill had conceded earlier in the chase.
Prasidh Krishna bowled the last over. DC needed two off the final delivery. Miller missed a slower short ball, and GT ran out Kuldeep Yadav on the same delivery to complete a one-run win. Gujarat's name went on the scorecard, but the clip that kept replaying through the night was the overthrow. A five-run gift that had turned into the exact size of the margin.
