Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Liam Livingstone finally showed his worth as he smashed his maiden IPL fifty in Match 11 of IPL 2022 vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK). 

He had luck on his side as he was dropped early on in the innings by Ambati Rayudu at short third man but he made great use of the opportunity and smashed 5 sixes and 5 fours each. 

The English player was bought at the IPL Mega Auction for a whopping sum of Rs 11.5 crore and on Sunday he ensured that Punjab Kings owners were not disappointed.

He also hit the longest six recorded in this edition of IPL, by hitting a massive 108 meters six.
