England star Liam Livingstone smashes biggest six of IPL with "monster" 117m strike

After a breakout 2021 which saw him star for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred, blast England 's fastest ever century in T20I cricket and impress at the T20 World Cup, Liam Livingstone has continued to show why he is one of the most exciting talents in white ball cricket.

In the IPL mega auction, Livingstone became a millionaire when Punjab Kings paid a whopping £1.1m to sign him, making him the most expensive overseas player at the auction. He has impressed at the tournament so far, scoring 293 runs at an average of 32.55 and a strike rate of 186.62.

And the 28-year-old struck the biggest six of the tournament so far in his side's eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans. In the 16th over, Livingstone took India international Mohammed Shami to the cleaners, striking 28 runs off the over to win the match.
