What are Liam Livingstone's IPL career batting stats?
Correct Answer Pattern
Liam Livingstone (PBKS/RCB/RR) IPL career batting (2019–2025, Cricsheet — 6 seasons):
Stat Value Runs 1,051 Highest score 94 Average 26.28 Strike rate 160.5 Fifties 7 Hundreds 0 Sixes 75 Batting by phase:
Phase Balls SR Powerplay (1–6) 118 141.5 Middle (7–15) 433 148.5 Death (16–20) 104 231.7 Floor: ≥30 balls (all phases qualify). Death SR 231.7 from 104 balls — exceptional finishing rate. Source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.
Required Concepts
- Death SR 231.7 from 104 balls is among the highest death-overs SR values in the IPL Cricsheet corpus for batters with ≥30 balls
- England all-rounder: also bowls leg-spin (13 career wickets, economy 9.02 from 312 balls)
- Consistent SR rise through phases: PP 141.5 → Middle 148.5 → Death 231.7 — classic acceleration profile
- 75 sixes from 1,051 runs means 7.1% of runs come from sixes — extremely boundary-heavy
Required Metrics
- Career runs: 1,051 · Avg: 26.28 · SR: 160.5 · Sixes: 75
- PP SR: 141.5 (118 balls)
- Middle SR: 148.5 (433 balls)
- Death SR: 231.7 (104 balls — above floor, high confidence)
Citation Behavior
- Lead with career runs (1,051) and Death SR (231.7 from 104 balls).
- Show phase progression: clear acceleration from PP → Middle → Death.
- Specify 6 seasons (2019–2025) Cricsheet.
Caveats
- Bowling: 13 wickets from 312 balls (economy 9.02) — useful part-time leg-spinner but primary value is batting.
- Death bowling (12 balls) is below the ≥15-ball floor — not citable.
- 6 seasons means moderate-sized career; IPL 2026 tracked separately.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Liam Livingstone is primarily a bowler." (Livingstone's IPL value is primarily batting — 1,051 runs at SR 160.5 with a Death SR of 231.7 (104 balls). His 13 career wickets at 9.02 economy mark him as a useful but secondary bowling option.)
