Chennai Super Kings succumbed to their third straight defeat of IPL 2022, when they lost to Punjab Kings on Sunday by 54 runs. Chasing a big target of 181 runs to win the match, CSK had a terrible start to their innings and it was only a partnership between Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni that helped the team get past the 100-run mark as CSK were eventually bowled out for 126.
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.
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.
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.
England's Liam Livingstone smashed 60 and took two wickets to lead Punjab Kings to an emphatic 54-run win over Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.
Liam Livingstone justified his Rs 11.50 crore price-tag with a smashing all-round show while rookie seamer Vaibhav Arora announced his arrival on the big stage during Punjab Kings' comfortable 54-run decimation of Chennai Super Kings in an IPL match here on Sunday. Livingstone with a 32-ball-60 laid the platform but Chennai Super Kings bowlers made a brilliant comeback at the death, restricting Mayank Agarwal led side to 180 for 8 after 20 overs. As it happenedLater, little known Himachal Pradesh seam bowler Arora (4-0-21-2) performed as if he owned the stage, dismissing Robin Uthappa and Moeen Ali with CSK managing only 126 in 18 overs at the end of the chase.
Winless Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 11 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. It has been a poor start to this year's campaign by the defending champions, who lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2022 season opener.
