Delhi Capitals Lose by One Run — The Nitish Rana Dead-Ball Controversy

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans

8 April 2026

Delhi Capitals lost a chase against Gujarat Titans by exactly one run in IPL 2026 — the same one run they had been denied earlier in the innings under cricket's "dead ball after on-field decision" rule. In the 10th over, Nitish Rana was given out lbw on the field, completed a single while waiting for the review, and was then ruled not out on DRS. Under the prevailing IPL playing condition, the single did not count: the ball had become dead at the moment of the original out call. Gujarat won 210-4 to Delhi's 209-8, with David Miller falling agonisingly short and Kuldeep Yadav run out off the final ball.

Nitish Rana Fined for Audible Obscenity — CSK vs DC, IPL 2026

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals

11 April 2026

Delhi Capitals batter Nitish Rana was fined 25 per cent of his match fee and given one demerit point for an audible obscenity directed at fourth umpire Anish Sahasrabudhe during Delhi's defeat to Chennai Super Kings on 11 April 2026. The flashpoint came when Tristan Stubbs's request for a glove change — driven by Chennai's heavy humidity — was denied at the boundary rope. Rana, batting at the other end and watching the exchange, walked over to argue and crossed into Code of Conduct territory. The match referee judged the breach a Level 1 offence and Rana accepted the sanction.
