[Watch] Liam Livingstone's animated celebrations after dismissing Shubman Gill in PBKS vs GT IPL 2024 match
Punjab Kings' (PBKS) part-time spinner Liam Livingstone was pumped up as he dismissed Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. With that, the hosts reduced the Titans to 66/2 after 11.5 overs during the chase of 142 runs in Mullanpur on Sunday, April 21. Gill departed for 35 runs off 29 balls including five boundaries.
For the unversed, the dismissal came during the 10th over of GT's run chase. Livingstone bowled a full-length ball and Gill went down for a big shot towards long-off. However, he failed to clear Kagiso Rabada, who completed a safe catch to bring Punjab back into the game. Livingstone then gave a sendoff to Gill with his animated celebrations.
Watch the video below:
Despite his failure, Gill remains one of the leading run-scorers of IPL 2024, scoring 298 runs in eight innings, including two half-centuries. The right-handed batter will look to get consistent ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The T20 tournament is slated to take place in the US and the West Indies in June.
