Shikhar Dhawan's brilliant half-century for Punjab Kings (PBKS) against Gujarat Titans (GT) was instrumental in his side's eight-wicket win at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Tuesday, May 3. The southpaw carried the bat for Punjab with his brilliant 53-ball 62 in what was an important match in the race for the playoffs
GT skipper Hardik Pandya slipped down a spot, while Englishman Liam Livingstone's brilliant cameo of 20 from just 10 balls pushed him back into the top 10 of the Orange Cap.
