T20 World Cup 2022: X-Factor player for each team in tournament
There are certain players who have the might to turn the game on its head in a matter of a few deliveries.
3. England - Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball. He is renowned for his power-hitting abilities and has been a game-changer with the bat. The Cumberland-born set the IPL stage ablaze this year and struck 437 runs in 14 games for Punjab Kings at a strike rate of 182.08.
The 29-year-old has been exceptional in the international circuit as well. In the 23 T20Is he has played, Livingstone has scored 368 runs at an incredible strike rate of 152.06. He has also been handy with the ball and bagged 12 wickets at an economy of 8.13.
With the bat, Livingstone has been England’s six-hitter, tasked to take the opposition's bowling apart from the get-go. With the ball, his ability to bowl both off-spin and leg-spin gives skipper Jos Buttler flexibility to maneuver his bowlers on the field. The swashbuckling batter has all the ingredients to be an impact player in the T20 World Cup 2022.
