Liam Livingstone will be replaced by Sikander Raza, an all-round player who hasn’t played a game since the season began. On the other side, a niggle forced Gujarat to withdraw their daring batsman, David Miller. The southpaw’s match-winning hit of 44* (27) against Sunriser Hyderabad was played in their last meeting.
On Thursday, April 4, at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will play in Match 17 of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024). Gujarat enters the match having won their prior encounter, while Punjab has suffered defeats in their past two contests against the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Due to injuries, Punjab had to substitute Liam Livingstone for the match, so both teams made one change to their starting lineups.
The right-handed hitter, who has been hitting well this season, played a match-winning knock of 38* (21) against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the first game. In their prior match, he played a another undefeated knock of 28* (17) against LSG.
