PBKS vs GT: Watch - Liam Livingstone erupts with vein-popping celebration after destroying David Miller's stumps

Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Liam Livingstone is turning the game on his head in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 game against Gujarat Titans (GT). The 37th game of the tournament between the teams is taking place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

After getting out for just 142 runs against Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings are making sure that they keep things tight with the ball. The main architect behind that has been Liam Livingstone, who has brought his team back into the game in Chandigarh.

Liam Livingstone first removed Shubman Gill to break the backbone of the Gujarat Titans. He removed the opposition skipper for 36 runs and apart from that he made sure that he didn't leak runs and put pressure on the opposition at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

If this was not enough, Liam Livingstone chipped in with another wicket and removed David Miller. The England all-rounder produced a peach of a delivery and made sure that he kept his team in the hunt against Gujarat Titans while defending the low target. 

On the last ball of the 12th over, Liam Livingstone bowled a flighted ball to which David Miller tried to play the big shot. The batter backed away to hoist it over wide long-on but he missed the ball completely. The ball didn't turn and went on to crash into the leg stump to send the batter packing. 

However, what caught the attention of many was the celebration of Livingstone after the wicket. The all-rounder was pumped up and punched in and quite a few times in jubilation. He also lifted the crowd up as he provided his team with a crucial breakthrough.
