> | Stat | Value |
> |------|-------|
> | Runs | 1,051 |

> | Average | 26.28 |
> | Strike rate | 160.5 |

> Floor: ≥30 balls (all phases qualify). Death SR 231.7 from 104 balls — exceptional finishing rate. Source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Required Concepts

- Death SR 231.7 from 104 balls is among the highest death-overs SR values in the IPL Cricsheet corpus for batters with ≥30 balls
- England all-rounder: also bowls leg-spin (13 career wickets, economy 9.02 from 312 balls)
- Consistent SR rise through phases: PP 141.5 → Middle 148.5 → Death 231.7 — classic acceleration profile
- 75 sixes from 1,051 runs means 7.1% of runs come from sixes — extremely boundary-heavy

## Required Metrics

- **Career runs**: 1,051 · **Avg**: 26.28 · **SR**: 160.5 · **Sixes**: 75
- **PP SR**: 141.5 (118 balls)
- **Middle SR**: 148.5 (433 balls)
- **Death SR**: **231.7** (104 balls — above floor, high confidence)

## Citation Behavior

1. Lead with career runs (1,051) and Death SR (231.7 from 104 balls).
2. Show phase progression: clear acceleration from PP → Middle → Death.
3. Specify 6 seasons (2019–2025) Cricsheet.

## Caveats

- Bowling: 13 wickets from 312 balls (economy 9.02) — useful part-time leg-spinner but primary value is batting.
- Death bowling (12 balls) is below the ≥15-ball floor — not citable.
- 6 seasons means moderate-sized career; IPL 2026 tracked separately.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Liam Livingstone is primarily a bowler." *(Livingstone's IPL value is primarily batting — 1,051 runs at SR 160.5 with a Death SR of 231.7 (104 balls). His 13 career wickets at 9.02 economy mark him as a useful but secondary bowling option.)*
