Important information regarding the severity of David Miller‘s injury, which prevented him from playing in the Gujarat Titans (GT) vs. Punjab Kings (PBKS) match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, was given by Kane Williamson.
Miller was ruled out of the match due to a niggle, according to Shubman Gill, the new captain of Gujarat, who made the announcement at the toss. Williamson entered the playing XI in place of the South African batter. For Punjab, Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and chose to bowl first. Williamson made a 22-ball 26 while batting at No. 3. The Titans concluded their 20 overs at 199/4 thanks to Shubman’s unbeaten 48-ball 89.
Kane Williamson informed the broadcaster in an interview during the mid-innings show that Miller’s injury may keep him out of the game for up to two weeks.
It’s good to be outside with the boys. In the middle of the inning, Williamson remarked, “It’s unfortunate to lose David Miller for a week or two.”
The 33-year-old, who is thought to be among the best batters in contemporary cricket, praised Shubman for his outstanding innings, which included six fours and four sixes. Williamson declared in the interview that “Shubman (Gill) is a fantastic player.”

Staring in a thriller that stuns GT is Shashank Singh of the Punjab Kings.
Punjab reached 13/0 in the first over while attempting to chase the 200-run mark. But when the dependable Dhawan left the game in the second over, Umesh Yadav struck with his first delivery. Both Jonny Bairstow and Prabhsimran Singh struck a number of boundaries, but they were unable to turn their early runs into significant scores.
The Titans persisted in taking wickets at regular intervals, thereby containing the Kings. Still, the visiting team scored runs at a respectable pace during their innings. The 32-year-old Shashank Singh, who was moved up to No. 6, didn’t let his squad down, scoring an undefeated 61 off just 29 balls. Impact Player Ashutosh Sharma provided Shashank with the ideal counterbalance with a very helpful cameo of 31 runs off 17 balls. With three wickets and a ball remaining, Punjab ultimately prevailed in the match.
