Virender Sehwag Slams Glenn Maxwell and Liam Livingstone: ‘They Just Come Here for a Holiday’ in IPL 2025
21 days ago | 5 Views
Virender Sehwag has always been straightforward with his opinions, and this time he's targeting two prominent foreign players in the IPL: Glenn Maxwell and Liam Livingstone. The former Indian opener didn't hold back, criticizing them for their apparent lack of motivation and commitment to succeed in the league.
Sehwag's remarks come after both players delivered disappointing performances in IPL 2025. Maxwell, who plays for PBKS, was left out of the lineup against RCB, and Livingstone also found himself on the bench.
"I think Maxwell and Livingstone have lost their hunger. They come here for a vacation and then leave after having their fun. There's no real desire to fight for the team," Sehwag expressed on Cricbuzz, noting that their performances this season have fallen short of the high standards expected from players of their caliber.
Glenn Maxwell, renowned for his explosive batting and ability to change the game, has struggled to hit his stride this season. With only 41 runs in six matches, averaging 8.20 and a strike rate of 100, he has not been the dynamic player fans are used to seeing.
While he has taken four wickets with an economy rate of 8.46, his bowling hasn't made up for his lackluster batting contributions.
Livingstone's lackluster season
Liam Livingstone's performances have also been underwhelming. Although he has shown some moments of brilliance, like scoring a half-century, his total of 87 runs in seven matches and an average of 17.40 don't really match up to his hefty ₹8.75 crore price tag.
His part-time spin bowling has netted him two wickets, but that’s not nearly enough to make up for his batting struggles. Sehwag highlighted a lack of genuine commitment from these players, stating, “I’ve spent time with many former players, but only 1 or 2 truly gave me the impression that they really wanted to contribute to the team.”
