NEW DELHI: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) could look to buy England’s batting all-rounder Liam Livingstone at the IPL 2026 auction to bolster their lower-order firepower, said former India batter Mohammad Kaif.
The IPL 2026 auction will be held at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, and they come in with a purse of Rs 22.95 crore to fill six slots, four of which are for roping in overseas players.
With David Miller released ahead of the auction, LSG’s primary goal will be to get a player who fills in that void.
“One name that comes to mind is Liam Livingstone. He plays the role of a finisher and plays at number five or six. With them releasing Miller, his direct replacement option is Livingstone. He bowls as well and although his current form is not good, but I think he has a lot of experience and his strike rate is quite high.
