In their final opportunity to secure a spot in the playoffs, Punjab Kings found themselves in a precarious situation as they faced off against Rajasthan Royals. By the end of the ninth over, they had managed to post a modest score of 62 runs for the loss of four wickets.
Despite their attempt to be aggressive during the powerplay, the PBKS batters paid the price by losing their wickets while trying to dismantle the opposition’s bowling attack. Among the dismissals was Liam Livingstone, who fell prey to an extravagant shot that ended in his wicket.
However, it was Livingstone’s reaction before departing to the pavilion that garnered significant attention due to its uniqueness. During the seventh over, it was Saini who delivered a full-length ball to the English batter.
The ball sharply seamed back in, and in an attempt to strike it over midwicket, Livingstone completely misjudged the line, resulting in the ball crashing into his stumps. Surprisingly, instead of displaying frustration upon witnessing his dismissal, Livingstone responded with a smile towards the bowler.
This distinct reaction captured the interest of many viewers, and the Twitterati wasted no time expressing their thoughts on social media after witnessing these uncommon scenes.
