Manoj Tiwary slams Liam Livingstone after RCB’s loss against DC in IPL 2025

Former Indian batter Manoj Tiwary criticized Liam Livingstone after Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered a six-wicket loss against Delhi Capitals at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Thursday. The England batter, who was roped in for a whopping amount of INR 8.75 crore, was dismissed after scoring four runs off six balls.

Despite losing three quick wickets, Livingstone went for a big shot against Mohit Sharma but could not get the desired connection and holed out to point fielder, Ashutosh Sharma. Livingstone has managed 83 runs in five matches of IPL 2025 at an average of 20.75 and a strike rate of 133.87.

Tiwary compared Livingstone’s inconsistent performances with Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.

“The one player that disappointed me the most was the overseas player, Liam Livingstone. Liam Livingstone is emerging as the new Glenn Maxwell. If you see his shot selection, despite being an experienced international player, he gets out in a similar fashion each and every time,” Tiwary said on Cricbuzz.

“If you talk about his previous innings at the Chinnaswamy against GT, he had given four chances, and only after that he made runs. So, RCB have a problem here with him. Indian batters can afford to make mistakes here and there, and little liberty is there for the overseas players as well, but not like this,” he added.

The former Bengal cricketer slammed Livingstone for trying to hit the ball out of the ground and not focussing on his timing.

“If you are getting out while playing good shots or getting out to a good ball, then even the team management understands the effort. If you look at Livingstone’s dismissal, it seemed like he wanted to hit the ball out of the ground, the situation did not demand that at that time,” the former batter added.

RCB will next take on Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on Sunday.
