Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Mayank Agarwal was impressed with Liam Livingstone’s pyrotechnics at the end of their league game against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the DY Patil Stadium on Tuesday.
“We would like to string a few (wins), no better time than getting a few wins back-to-back. We are trying to get the best out of Jonny. He’s done well opening. I said, ‘It’s okay, I’ll bat at four, I’ll anchor the innings at four’. With Livi it was clear, Shikhar Dhawan to bat through and Livi could out and play the way he wants to play.”
“It was nice the way he played, got the score quickly. When we got to that position, two points are almost clear, if we can score it as quickly as possible, we could also improve the Net Run-Rate,” Mayank said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I thought we bowled exceedingly well, we got early wickets and choked them in the middle. That really helped us to restrict them to a below-par score. The partnership between Shikhar and Bhanu was crucial for us,” Mayank added.
PBKS is now in 5th place on the points table while Gujarat remains at the top.
