Former Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag took a brutal dig at Glenn Maxwell and Liam Livingstone over their dismal runs in the ongoing IPL 2025. Both cricketers have failed to impress in the ongoing competition and they were both dropped by their respective sides on Sunday. While Royal Challengers Bengaluru included Romario Shepherd in place of Livingstone, Maxwell has not featured for Punjab Kings in the last couple of matches. Sehwag said that both cricketers have no ‘visible desire to fight for their teams’ and even said that they look like the IPL is like a holiday for them.
“I feel like Maxwell and Livingstone’s hunger is gone. Yeh yahaan holiday manane aate hai, holiday banaakar chale jaate hain. (they just come here for a holiday). They arrive, have their fun, and leave. There’s no visible desire to fight for the team,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
“I’ve spent time with a lot of former players, but only 1 or 2 really gave me the feeling that, ‘Yes, I genuinely want to do something for the team’,” he added.
While Maxwell has scored just 41 runs and taken 4 wickets, Livingstone has scored just 87 runs.
