The next season of the world’s largest cricket league i.e. IPL will be held in March 2025. But an important part of its preparations, the auction, has been completed. At the same time, RCB, as one of the most popular teams in IPL, has also trained many players. One of those names is also England star Liam Livingston. What’s special is that while the IPL auction is going on in Jeddah, Liam Livingston is wreaking havoc in the T10 league. His batting form allowed him to score more than 333 runs.
Liam Livingston plays in the Abu Dhabi T10 League
The T20 league is currently underway in Abu Dhabi. In this 10-over series, the match is played on November 25 between Delhi Bulls and Bangla Tigers. Batting first, Delhi Bulls lost 6 wickets in 10 overs and scored 123 runs. Afterwards, when the Bengals struck out, Liam Livingston was there. Liam Livingston batted at number four and had a stormy innings. He scored 50 runs in just 15 balls. During this period, he hit three fours and five sky-high sixes with the bat. His strike rate is 333.33.
RCB bought it for Rs 875 crore
Bangla Tigers won the match by 7 wickets in just 9.4 overs thanks to Liam Livingston’s stellar performance. While this match is going on, the IPL auction is also taking place in Jeddah. This means both jobs are done simultaneously. This time, RCB has included Liam Livingston, who previously played for Kings XI Punjab, in their ranks. RCB spent Rs 875 crore for him. It is believed that in the IPL to be held in March, Liam will be given the role of finisher by RCB and he will also be seen bowling.
Liam’s record in IPL is like this
The team had hoped to bring Glenn Maxwell into the fold and now the same task has been given to Liam. Maxwell took a huge amount of medication and couldn’t do anything, so this time the team showed him a way out. If we talk about Liam’s IPL career, he scored 939 runs in 39 games. He has a strike rate of 162.46 and an average of 28. He also took 11 wickets. He can be a game-winner for the team. But the question is whether he will continue in his current form.
