During the 11th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, PBKS got off to horror start losing their skipper Mayank Agarwal (4 off 2) and in-form Bhanuka Rajapaksa (9 off 5) – courtesy a splendid run-out from MS Dhoni, within the first two Overs of the match.
However, with plenty of game-changing batters in their ranks, PBKS were in no mood to drop their guard on a batting paradise at the Brabourne.
Coming in to bat at no.4 in the batting order, Liam Livingstone went after CSK’s Mukesh Choudhary right away, smashing him for a Four and a Six during the 3rd Over to make his intentions very clear.
With Choudhary returning back in the 5th Over again, Livingstone was all over the 25-year-old like a rash, clubbing him for as many as 26 runs in the Over to destroy his bowling figures.
The particular highlight of the Over, however, was the one monstrous Six the English batter hit on the very first delivery, which went sailing high into the night sky covering a distance of 108 metres.
