IPL 2022: Best Overseas XI - Week Five
The race for playoffs seems to be getting all the more interesting, with all teams but Mumbai Indians effectively in contention.
5. Liam Livingstone
One of the most feared batsmen in world cricket right now, Liam Livingstone is finally having the season he deserves to have. Still, his overall IPL strike rate is nearly 160. This week, although a major score was missing, he played a couple of quickfire cameos.
Against CSK, he just faced seven balls but made the most of it as he smoked two sixes and a four en route to his score of 19. Against LSG too, he managed to hit two sixes, but just when it seemed like he would take his side over the line alongside Bairstow, he got out trying to play the scoop shot.
A livewire on the field, Livingstone can also roll his arm over as well. He is a complete T20 package, which was evident by the bidding war he had started at the auction earlier this year. Nevertheless, Punjab would keep on hoping that Livingstone can pull off a few more of his belligerent knocks this season.
