The 68th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. This match is very important for both the teams from the qualifier point of view. It was believed that RCB would be out of the playoff race, but after winning 5 consecutive matches, it is being considered a strong contender to play the qualifiers. But before the match against Chennai, RCB has suffered a big setback. Bengaluru all-rounder Will Jacques has been ruled out before the match against Chennai. There is a strong possibility that Glenn Maxwell will be taken in place of Jack against Chennai. In such a situation, is it necessary to include Maxwell in the playing-11 or is it a question of compulsion.
Will Jacques out of the team
Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell, who plays for RCB, is in very poor form. This season, not a single big inning has been seen from Maxwell's bat. Due to poor form, he was also dropped from the playing eleven. After being out of a few matches, he was brought back into the team, but once again Max's bat flopped. But now that Will Jacques has been dropped from the team, Glenn Maxwell is going to return to RCB again. Is this a necessity or a compulsion for the captain and the team?
You can get a place in the team due to these 5 reasons
1. Maxwell has played a total of 8 matches so far in this IPL season, in which only 36 runs have come from his bat. A worse form than this cannot be imagined. Meanwhile, Maxwell's maximum score has been 28 runs. But still it can be played in the next match.
2. Glenn Maxwell has been out for zero in 3 matches this season. For this reason he was dropped from the team, but still he can be included in the playing eleven.
3. RCB all-rounder Will Jack is out of the team. In such a situation, the slot of the foreign player has become vacant, now the only option for RCB to fill that slot is Glenn Maxwell.
4 , Bengaluru is eyeing a big score against Chennai, as RCB will need a big win to reach the playoffs. In such a situation, RCB's Glenn Maxwell is known for playing aggressive innings, hence he can be included in the playing-11.
5. Glenn Maxwell has made a special record in his name while playing for RCB. Maxwell has joined RCB in IPL 2021. In 2021, Maxwell scored 513 runs, in 2022 he scored 301 runs, in 2023 Max scored 400 runs. This is the reason why despite repeated flops, they are being given opportunities.
