Punjab Kings paid a fortune for Liam Livingstone at the auction table. The Englishman hadn't made an impact in IPL last season and one felt that coach Anil Kumble might have gone a little too much for him.
But on Sunday night at Brabourne, Livingstone showed that the investment was worth every penny. It was his all-round effort that was the cornerstone of Punjab's second win and CSK's third loss in a row. Livingstone came in to bat at 14-2 when the chips were down and the ball was doing it a bit for the CSK pacers.
But Livingstone (60 off 32 balls) was not ready to hold back. Banking on his power and hand-eye coordination, Livingstone attacked the CSK pacers as if there is no tomorrow. Run flowed from his bat and he found an able ally in Shikhar Dhawan (33 off 24) who kept the strike rotating.
