Hero for Australia but 'zero' in IPL? Know why Maxwell became a tension for RCB?

Glenn Maxwell in IPL 2024: Glenn Maxwell has been a complete flop in IPL 2024 so far. RCB's batting all-rounder has not been able to do anything special with the bat for the team till now. In the fifth match played against Rajasthan, Maxwell was out after scoring only 01 run. Maxwell could not cross the 30-run mark even once in his five innings. But Maxwell performed brilliantly in the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Maxwell flopped in IPL

The Australian batsman batted explosively in the ODI World Cup 2023 played on Indian soil. But on the same Indian pitches, Maxwell is continuously flopping in IPL. In the World Cup match against Afghanistan, Maxwell led Australia to victory by scoring a double century while chasing the target and due to severe leg cramps in that match, he was not able to even stand properly on both legs.

But despite being very fit in the IPL, Maxwell is not doing anything. Batting in five innings, Maxwell has returned to the pavilion with single digit scores four times including two zeroes. His high score has been 28 runs. In five innings, Maxwell has scored 00, 03, 28, 00 and 01 runs respectively. Due to his poor form, the Australian player seems to be a problem for RCB.

good rhythm in bowling

Maxwell often bowls as a part timer. But this season he is looking better than the main bowler for RCB. While Alzarri Joseph, who played the first three matches for RCB, has not taken a single wicket, Maxwell has made 4 batsmen his victims in 5 matches. Now it will be interesting to see how Maxwell performs in the coming matches.
