GT vs PBKS: Match 17 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) will feature the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) clash against each other in Ahmedabad on Thursday. PBKS aims to reclaim victory, whereas GT, with two wins in their last three matches, seeks their third triumph. There’s potential for alterations in PBKS’s lineup due to an injury revealed in a pre-match preview. Liam Livingstone, the injured player, may be substituted by another formidable all-rounder.

Liam Livingstone A Doubt For GT vs PBKS
Reports suggest that Livingstone encountered hamstring problems in the previous match, hinting at possible changes in PBKS’s composition. If we focus on PBKS’s foreign players, Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza stands as a strong alternative to replace Livingstone. Although Raza hasn’t played any matches this season, he eagerly awaits an opportunity. Should Livingstone remain unfit against Gujarat, Sikandar Raza could secure a spot in the playing XI.
Sikandar Raza In IPL 2023
Sikandar Raza featured in only seven matches for Punjab Kings in the prior season, yet his contributions were pivotal to the team’s success in certain games. Across these matches, Raza amassed 139 runs, including a half-century, and clinched three wickets. His highest score was 57. The question arises whether Sikandar Raza will be included in this match’s lineup. As an outstanding all-rounder who recently achieved a hat-trick in T20 internationals, offering him a chance could be a strategic advantage for Dhawan and the PBKS team.
