NEW DELHI : Liam Livingstone showed why Punjab Kings splurged $1.52 million to secure his services with a dazzling all-round display in Sunday's Indian Premier League (IPL) victory against holders Chennai Super Kings.
Joao Felix’s career could have turned out completely differently if his links to Manchester City became a reality back in 2019. Now he’ll be facing them in the Champions League on Tuesday, looking to show Pep Guardiola what he’s missing.
It’s the first Monday in April. You know what that means. In the spring, a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of the draft.
Punjab Kings' (PBKS) batter Shikhar Dhawan was all praise for debutant Vaibhav Arora who dismantled the Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) top order on Sunday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Arora returned with impressive figures of 2 for 21 from his four overs here at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai as PBKS bounced back in style to defeat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 54 runs. Chasing 181, CSK did not get the ideal start after openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa were back in the hut early. Gaikwad was caught in the slips by Dhawan while Uthappa's leading edge was taken by PBKS skipper Agarwal. Kagiso Rabada and Vaibhav Arora claimed a wicket each in those two dismissals.
Punjab Kings' skipper Mayank Agarwal and all-rounder Liam Livingstone credited their seam bowlers for setting up their 54-run victory against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium here on Sunday. Though the dew has been a problem for all teams bowling second in this edition of the IPL, especially in the matches being played at the Brabourne Stadium, the Punjab Kings' bowlers came up with a superb performance to rattle CSK early on and maintained their stranglehold despite a half-century by Shivam Dube. "We got to a target we thought was defendable and the seam bowlers set it up for us. We wanted to be aggressive and as exciting as we can. Nice to get a few today, but as I said, the seamers set it up in the powerplay," said Livingstone, who blasted a brilliant 60 to help Punjab recover from 16 for 2 to reach 180 for 8 in 20 overs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been traditional slow starters and the 61-run defeat in the season-opener of this edition's IPL has only added to their woes. All their hopes of a quick reversal of fortunes after a horror last season were dashed by Rajasthan Royals, who put their attack to the sword and wrecked their batting inside the powerplay. The manner of defeat will certainly rankle. While the bowlers, barring Bhuvneshwar Kumar, showed absolute lack of control, their batsmen were all at sea against Prasidh Krishna upfront and scoreboard pressure meant Yuzvendra Chahal scythed through the middle.
Hat-trick of losses for defending championsPunjab Kings paid a fortune for Liam Livingstone at the auction table. The Englishman hadn't made an impact in IPL last season and one felt coach Anil Kumble might have gone a little too much for him. AS IT HAPPENEDBut on Sunday night at the Brabourne, Livingstone showed that the investment was worth every penny. It was his all-round effort that was the cornerstone of Punjab's second win and CSK's third loss in a row. Livingstone came in to bat at 14-2 when the chips were down and the ball was doing a bit for the CSK pacers. But Livingstone (60 off 32 balls) was not ready to hold back. Banking on his power and hand-eye co-ordination, Livingstone attacked the CSK pacers as if there was no tomorrow. Run flowed from his bat and he found an able ally in Shikhar Dhawan (33 off 24) who kept the strike rotating.
