NEW DELHI: Former Team India batter Virender Sehwag<\/a> is never one to mince words, and this time, it\u2019s Glenn Maxwell<\/a> and Liam Livingstone<\/a> who\u2019ve found themselves in his firing line.
The former Indian opener has slammed the two high-profile overseas stars, accusing them of lacking the hunger and intent to contribute meaningfully in IPL 2025.
\u201cI feel like Maxwell and Livingstone\u2019s hunger is gone. Yeh yaha holiday manane aate hai (they just come here for a holiday). They arrive, have their fun, and leave. There’s no visible desire to fight for the team,\u201d Sehwag said on Cricbuzz, calling out their indifferent performances this season.

Glenn Maxwell, known for his explosive batting and game-changing ability, has looked a shadow of his former self.
The Aussie all-rounder has managed just 41 runs in six matches at an average of 8.20, with a strike rate of exactly 100. <\/p>\n

His bowling, while marginally better, with four wickets at an economy of 8.46, hasn\u2019t been enough to cover up the glaring void in his batting contributions.<\/p>\n

Poll<\/p>\n

Do you think Glenn Maxwell is underperforming in IPL 2025?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Liam Livingstone, on the other hand, has shown glimpses of his power-hitting prowess, with a solitary fifty and 87 runs in 7 games. But his average of 17.40 and inconsistent outings haven\u2019t justified the Rs 8.75 crore RCB spent on him.
His part-time spin has also failed to make an impact, yielding just two wickets.
“I\u2019ve 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 further added.<\/p>\n

With franchises investing heavily in overseas stars, expectations are sky-high.
But unless players like Maxwell and Livingstone rediscover their hunger, they risk becoming passengers in a tournament where impact is everything.<\/div>\n
