The 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season is currently underway between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and opted to bowl first. However, in what comes as a big blow to the Men in Red, Liam Livingstone misses out in the Playing XI as he is still recovering from the injury he suffered against LSG.
The English batter has been in good form with the bat this season, playing a match-winning knock of 38* (21) in the opening game against Delhi Capitals (DC).
Livingstone further played another unbeaten knock of 28* (17) against LSG in their previous fixture.
Livingstone will be replaced by all-rounder Sikander Raza, who is yet to play the first game of the season.

Shikhar Dhawan(c), Jonny Bairstow, Jitesh Sharma(w), Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran, Shashank Singh, Sikandar Raza, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh
