Liam Livingstone then scored an unbeaten 30 off 10 balls to help the team win the game as well as improve the net run rate. After this win, Punjab team reached fifth in the table with five wins in 10 matches. This is Gujarat’s second defeat in 10 matches and the team is still on top.

In the 16th over, Liam Livingstone hit a six of 117 meters outside the stadium. The commentators, fans and players were astonished to see this shot. Bowler Mohammed Shami was also shocked after seeing this shot of Liam.

This is the third time in the ongoing season that Livingstone has hit a six in more than 100 meters. Mumbai Indians’ Dewald Brevis is second on the list with a six of 112m.

Livingstone said after the match, “I didn’t think for a while that I was going to bat, it was nice to go out and play some shots. I thought Shikhar played beautifully initially, and Bhanu supported in that partnership. It was a big win for us and we needed it, we have played some bad cricket in the last few matches and it is good to turn it around.
