‘Just a normal day in office for him’: Netizens react to Fabian Allen’s fabulous catch to dismiss Livingstone – WATCH
After a fabulous summer at home in England with the national team, in The Hundred for the Birmingham Phoenix, and for Lancashire in the T20 Blast, Liam Livingstone’s return in the Indian Premier League (IPL) was much anticipated.
It took a little time for him to get going against the Punjab Kings in Rajasthan Royals’ first game in the second half to understand Dubai’s surface’s two-paced nature but since he got one out of the middle, it was ominous signs for the Kings and the bowler was Arshdeep Singh.
He paddled one over the wicket-keeper’s head for a four and two balls later dispatched a slower one into the stands on the leg side. He went for another one, ball later towards the same area but it didn’t have the same distance as the previous one, but it was flying.
However, Fabian Allen, who is considered one of the best fielders in the T20 circuit, came running towards the ball, timed his full-stretch dive to perfection and grabbed a stunning catch just yards before the boundary, to dismiss the dangerous Livingstone.

The fans couldn’t stop themselves from reacting to Allen’s catch. This was also Arshdeep’s second of the five wickets on the day.
Here are some of the reactions:
The rise of Liam Livingstone as an international cricketer in the global stage has been like no other. Being called ‘The Beast’ for very deserving reasons, it needed something special to cut his knock short. And Fabian Allen has provided #PBKS just that. Game on! Stunner. #IPL
