WATCH: Liam Livingstone blasts a monstrous six that lands in a construction site; the workers retrieve the ball
England all-rounder Liam Livingstone is fast becoming the most dangerous hitter in white-ball cricket. He is one of the most powerful hitters present across the globe, who can change the complexion of the game within a few deliveries.
Liam Livingstone was a part of the Punjab Kings set-up during the recently concluded Indian Premier League 2022, where he emerged as the most valuable asset for the Kings in the North with 437 runs in 14 games at an explosive strike rate of over 182.
The right-handed all-rounder has managed to carry his form back to his county side Lancashire in the Vitality T20 Blast 2022. Livingstone currently has taken over the English premier T20 competition by storm with his fierce hitting.

During his fiery knock, the destructive all-rounder hit the ball over the mid-wicket boundary into the construction site.
