‘Holiday Manane Aate Hain…’: Former India cricketer BRUTAL remark on two misfiring overseas IPL star

Ex India cricketer Virender Sehwag brutally roasted Glenn Maxwell and Liam Livingstone for their poor performance in the ongoing IPL 2025. Both the players were dropped by their respective franchises on Sunday.

While, Royal Challengers Bengaluru replaced Liam Livingstone with Romaria Shepherd, Maxwell was dropped from the PBKS playing XI, a couple of matches earlier. Sehwag stated that both cricketers have no “visible desire to fight for their teams” and he further 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’,” Sehwag added

Maxwell has managed to take just 41 runs and 4 wickets whereas, Liam Livingstone has scored only 87 runs in the ongoing IPL.

Coming to the match, RCB secured a convincing 7-wicket victory over the Punjab Kings (PBKS), after an impressive knock by the star batter Virat Kohli as he scored 73 runs off 54 deliveries, which included 7 fours and a six. This was his fourth fifty in eight innings this season. His runs came at a strike rate of 135.19

He also supassed Australia player David Warner’s record for the most fifties in the IPL history. This was Kohli’s 67th fifty, while Warner had a total of 66 fifty, Shikar Dhawan ranks third in the list with 53 fifties.
