You will never know which Punjab Kings’ team will turn up on the day. The team from North India has become the most unpredictable side in the IPL, courtesy of their game. On Tuesday, they were up against the table-toppers of the IPL 2022 Gujarat Titans in the 48th match of the mega-event.

But, Punjab Kings brushed aside the mighty opponents with ease and registered an eight-wicket win with four overs remaining. It was a complete team effort from Mayank Agarwal & co. to bounce back in the competition.

Earlier, Gujarat Titans’ skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to have a go with the bat first. However, his batters could not back his decision properly and managed a below-par total of 143/8 in 20 overs.

South African pacer Kagiso Rabada turned up the heat with a four-for, while Arshdeep Singh, Rishi Dhawan, and Liam Livingstone bagged one wicket each.

Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Liam Livingstone ensured a win for Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings lost Jonny Bairstow early in the chase but experienced Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa didn’t let Gujarat Titans grow in the game. When Rajapaksa returned to the dugout, the game was almost sealed for the Kings.

However, Liam Livingstone decided to finish the game early with his explosive fireworks. The Englishman all-rounder smashed his way to 30 runs off 10 deliveries, including three maximums.

Interestingly, Liam Livingstone also smashed an outrageous 117-meter six off Mohammad Shami to shock everyone on the ground. He scored 28 runs off the veteran’s over to finish the game with a flurry.
