CSK vs PBKS:
From the 14-15h over on, Kings XI Punjab might well have thought about retiring out Bhanuka Rajapaksa. He had done his job and was only delaying the entry of Liam Livingstone. As it turned out after he hit a six in the 13.3, Rajapaksha only faced 7 balls, dealing in singles, over the next four overs before he sacrificed his wicket, going for a slog. Enter Livingstone, the modern-day Nathan Astle with his array of shots, going boom boom in a 7-ball 19 cameo. He is one of the clean hitters, who likes to go in the arc between long-off to long-on. Early on his career, by his own admission, he would obsess over the hitting style of Jos Buttler but realised that Buttler was gifted with a wonderfully malleable wrists that powered his shots, and instead strived to be his original self. “I had got too whippy with my wrists”). He started to work on having a strong base in his stance (“I used to lose quite bit of power with too wide a base”), move his back hip – which he reckons is his key – and smash through the line. He makes sure he doesn’t have too long a front stride which renders the use of his hips a touch ineffective. “At point of contact, I make sure I whip my hips through which is where all my power comes from ,” he once told Sky Sports. He whipped his hips to lift Punjab over a par score.
