Gujarat Titans (GT) batsman Kane Williamson was disappointed with himself after getting out during the current match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday (April 4).
This reaction occurred when Williamson hit the ball straight to point off Harpreet Brar’s delivery, departing after scoring 26 runs off 22 balls, with four boundaries. The right-handed batsman was visibly upset and shook his head, regretting his inability to capitalize on a promising start in his first appearance of the season.
Williamson’s dismissal occurred in the ninth over of the GT innings. Brar delivered a short ball outside off, prompting Williamson to try a cut shot, but he ended up offering a straightforward catch to Jonny Bairstow at backward point.
The right-handed batsman struggled to control the bounce, leading to his downfall. This wicket followed immediately after Williamson had hit Brar for a boundary off the previous delivery.
