The next season of the world’s biggest cricket league i.e. IPL will be played in March 2025. But the important part of its preparation i.e. the auction is over. Meanwhile, RCB, one of the most popular teams in the IPL, has made several players in their squad. One of the names is that of England star Liam Livingston. The special thing is that Liam Livingston was wreaking havoc in the T10 league at the same time as the IPL auction was going on in Jeddah. His batting form was such that he scored runs at a strike rate of over 333.
Liam Livingston is playing in the Abu Dhabi T10 League
The T20 league is currently being played in Abu Dhabi. In this ten over match, a match was played between Delhi Bulls and Bengal Tigers on November 25. Batting first, the Delhi Bulls team scored 123 runs after losing 6 wickets in 10 overs. After this, when the Bengal Tigers team came out to bat, Liam Livingston was also present. Liam Livingston, who came to bat at number four, played a stormy innings. He scored 50 runs in just 15 balls. Meanwhile, three fours and 5 celestial sixes came from his bat. His strike rate was 333.33.
RCB bought him for 8.75 crores
Bangla Tigers won the match by seven wickets in just 9.4 overs thanks to Liam Livingston’s terrific innings. While this match was going on, the IPL auction was also going on in Jeddah. That is, both the works were running simultaneously. This time RCB has included Liam Livingston, who had earlier played for Punjab Kings. RCB has spent 8.75 crore rupees for it. It is believed that Liam will be given the role of finisher for RCB in the IPL to be held in March and will also be seen bowling.
Liam’s record in IPL is as follows
The hope with which the team brought Glenn Maxwell into their team, the same job has now been given to Liam. Maxwell couldn’t do anything even after taking a huge amount, so this time the team has shown him a way out. If we talk about Liam’s IPL career, he has scored 939 runs in 39 matches. His strike rate is 162.46 and he is scoring runs at an average of 28. He has also taken 11 wickets. He can be a match winner for the team. But the question is whether he will stay in the form he is in now.
