SRH vs PBKS: Watch - Liam Livingstone Takes A Well-Judged Catch To Send Back The Ominous Abhishek Sharma

Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Liam Livingstone made the most of his height and held on to an excellent catch to end Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener, Abhishek Sharma’s fast-paced knock in the final league game of the season.

Batting first, SRH lost Priyam Garg to Kagiso Rabada early on in the innings. SRH’s best batter this season, Rahul Tripathi, then shared a 47-run alliance with Abhishek before being dismissed for 20.

Unflustered, Abhishek carried on and scored 5 fours and 2 maximums in his 32-ball 43 before playing one too many shots. He backed himself to take on Harpreet Brar and tried to go over long-on’s head.

However, Livingstone was in the right place at the right time, leaped with both hands, and held on to the catch, ending Abhishek’s stay at the crease. SRH suddenly found themselves in trouble at 76/3 with their last two recognized batters, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram at the crease.

Punjab Kings (Playing XI): Jonny Bairstow, Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Mayank Agarwal(c), Shahrukh Khan, Jitesh Sharma(w), Harpreet Brar, Nathan Ellis, Prerak Mankad, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Priyam Garg, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran(w), Romario Shepherd, Washington Sundar, Jagadeesha Suchith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar(c), Fazalhaq Farooqi, Umran Malik
