**Bengaluru, India** – Liam Livingstone of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) achieved a remarkable feat in IPL 2025, despite his team’s loss to Gujarat Titans. In RCB’s match against GT, Livingstone smashed five sixes off the bowling of Rashid Khan, tying the record for most sixes hit against the star leg-spinner in IPL history. This puts him level with Chris Gayle, who also boasts seven sixes against Rashid Khan.
Livingstone’s 54-run knock off 40 balls included one four and those five towering sixes, three of which came in a single Rashid Khan over in which 21 runs were scored. This performance also saw Livingstone surpass 1000 IPL career runs.
While RCB ultimately lost the match by 8 wickets, and Mohammed Siraj was named Player of the Match, Livingstone’s achievement stands out. He is now tied with Chris Gayle for the most sixes against Rashid Khan in IPL history (7), ahead of Shreyas Iyer (6). Further, Livingstone’s five sixes in a single innings against Rashid Khan is second only to Gayle’s record of six in a single innings.
The match highlighted Livingstone’s explosive batting prowess and his ability to dominate even the most skilled bowlers. His performance will undoubtedly be remembered as a significant moment in the IPL 2025 season.
