IPL 2023: When Punjab Kings (PBKS) prepare to take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Mohali during the IPL 2023, their batting lineup is likely to see a considerable improvement. Prior to the match, they made a suggestion about England all-rounder Liam Livingstone’s availability. Incidentally, on Thursday, April 20, the Shikhar Dhawan-led group will take on RCB at Chandigarh’s Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium.
Livingstone has missed the first five IPL games for PBKS this season due to fitness issues. The 29-year-old hasn’t played any competitive cricket since December 2022, when he last played a Test match against Pakistan.
But, on Thursday, PBKS made significant Instagram hints on Livingstone’s availability for the match against RCB. The Big Show, also known as Livingstone and RCB star Glenn Maxwell, was featured in the article.

With a negative NRR, PBKS is ranked fifth in the IPL 2023 points table.
Liam Livingstone travelled to India earlier this month after receiving a certificate of fitness clearance from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). He was recovering from injuries to his ankle and knee sustained in December. Later, while participating in his first PBKS workout, he pulled a muscle, further delaying his return.
In particular, PBKS has struggled with injuries this IPL season. Before to the commencement of the IPL 2023, English cricketer Jonny Bairstow was diagnosed with a season-long injury, and Matthew Short was brought in as a replacement. Shikhar Dhawan, the captain of PBKS, might join the team for the game against RCB after missing the most recent encounter against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) because of a shoulder injury. Sam Curran, an all-rounder for England, took over as captain while Shikhar Dhawan was away. PBKS has now won three of its five games in the ongoing IPL. Punjab is presently ranked fifth in the IPL 2023 points standings with six points.
