Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra criticised RCB all-rounder Liam Livingstone and urged them to drop the 31-year-old. "I'd say you should drop Livingstone. I request you with folded hands. He used to play for PBKS, and he never made them win. He won't make you win either," he said. Notably, Livingstone has scored 87 runs in seven IPL 2025 innings.
