Ranking top 10 finishers ahead of IPL 2023
These players will play a key role in their respective teams due to their match-finishing capabilities.
4. Liam Livingstone
In 2022, Punjab Kings (PBKS) roped in Liam Livingstone for INR 11.5 crore at the 2022 IPL auction. After getting signed at a huge sum, the English batter delivered extraordinary numbers to the franchise in the competition with 437 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 182.08.
In the crucial contest against Gujarat Titans (GT), Livingstone went bizarre against bowlers. With his unbeaten innings of 30 runs off just 10 balls, the right-hander helped his team hammer the opponents comfortably. In the last group game of the league, Livingstone displayed his unprecedented match-finishing skills again with his 49-run innings off just 29 deliveries.
Livingstone’s form will be vital this year for PBKS’s campaign to fare well in the forthcoming season. The 29-year-old has appeared in 23 IPL games so far, in which he has racked up 549 runs with four half-centuries at a strike rate of 166.87.
