Liam Livingstone is a dynamic England all-rounder known for his explosive batting and useful leg-spin. Currently with Punjab Kings in the IPL, he has been a key middle-order aggressor and occasional wicket-taker since his debut in 2019.
In IPL 2025, Livingstone delivered several impactful knocks for Punjab Kings, including a blistering century and multiple quick half-centuries that helped stabilize and accelerate innings. He also chipped in with crucial wickets using his leg-spin, proving valuable in the middle overs and death phases.
Several franchises, including Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mumbai Indians, and Kolkata Knight Riders, are expected to show strong interest at the IPL 2026 auction given his proven T20 pedigree. His ability to clear boundaries and provide variety with the ball makes him a prized asset in the shorter format.
With his experience and power-hitting, Livingstone is likely to command a price well above his ₹2 crore base, potentially fetching between ₹8-12 crore depending on auction dynamics. In IPL 2026, teams can expect him to continue as a match-winner in the middle order while contributing with the ball in crucial phases.
