Viral: Rashid Khan Checks Liam Livingstone's Bat After Monster 117m Six vs GT
In a highly competitive environment like the Indian Premier League (IPL), it is rare to see players appreciating a shot or a delivery by the opposition, with teams focussed solely on winning the match. But Liam Livingstone hit a six so long in Punjab Kings' win on Tuesday that Gujarat Titans players could not help but admire the England player's powerful shot. In the 16th over of PBKS' chase 144-run, Livingstone smashed a 117m six behind square leg off Mohammed Shami. Shami himself couldn't help but smile in astonishment, while GT captain Hardik Pandya's jaw dropped on seeing the hit.
Gujarat's star leggie Rashid Khan walked up to Livingstone after the match and was seen inspecting his bat. Livingstone six was the longest in the IPL 2022 so far.
The picture has now gone viral.
"OMG! What a six from @liaml4893. 117m! #NGL, even we enjoyed it," Gujarat Titans tweeted after the match.

Several users, including GT's official handle, joked that Rashid was checking the bat for a spring on it.
