Liam was sold for 8.75 crores

In the auction of IPL 2025, Liam Livingstone was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 8.75 crore. The bid for Livingstone started with RCB and Sunrisers Hyderabad and soon Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings also started fighting for Livingstone. However, Chennai did not bid much and retreated. Then RCB bought him at a huge price. But now they must have regretted Liam.

Liam was part of Punjab
Liam Livingstone was part of Punjab Kings last year. But Punjab Kings showed him the way out this year. He did not use the right to match card on Liam even in the auction. In 2024, Liam scored just 111 runs in 7 matches. In which his highest score was 178 unbeaten. The average was just 22. Perhaps this was the reason that Punjab did not show interest in the auction this time.
