Liam Livingstone felt energized when he dismissed Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill in IPL 2024. Punjab Kings reduced Gujarat to 66/2 after 11.5 overs. They chased 142 runs in Mullanpur on April 21st. Gill scored 35 runs from 29 balls, including 5 boundaries before departing.
For those unfamiliar, the dismissal occurred during the tenth over of GT’s run chase. Liam Livingstone bowled a full-length delivery, and Gill went down for a powerful shot to long off. However, he failed to clear Kagiso Rabada, who made a comfortable catch to put Punjab back in the game. Liam Livingstone then gave Gill a send-off with exuberant celebrations.

Although Gill didn’t succeed, he stays as a top run-scorer of IPL 2024. He got 298 runs in eight innings with two half-centuries. The right-handed batter aims to be more consistent before the 2024 T20 World Cup comes. That tournament will happen in the US and West Indies in June.
