“If Livingstone Defended Rashid Then PBKS Would’ve Reached 220”- Twitter Reacts As Liam Loses Wicket At Crucial Moment After Scoring 64 Runs

The 16th match of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League is happening between the Punjab Kings and the Gujarat Titans, with Brabourne Stadium playing host to the fixture. GT skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and invited the Punjab Kings to bat first. Liam Livingstone top-scored for the Mohali-based franchise with a splendid half-century.

Livingstone failed to get going in his first few IPL matches, but the right-handed batter has returned to form in the tournament with back-to-back half-centuries. He was adjudged the Man of the Match for his excellent performance against the Chennai Super Kings, and now against the Gujarat Titans, he scored 64 runs from 27 deliveries.

Rashid Khan dismissed him, while debutant Darshan Nalkande was also impressive for the Gujarat Titans as he scalped two wickets in two balls on his debut. Speaking to the host broadcasters after the first innings, Nalkande said:

“There were nerves but Ashish sir and Hardik bhai gave me confidence before the game. It feels good to have got this opportunity after many years – looking forward to contribute to the team. Whatever Hardik bhai was telling me, I was trying to execute the same. The wicket is playing really well for batting.”
