5 brilliant cricketers who left cricket due to mental stress, one’s career ended
RCB’s star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell suddenly decided to take an indefinite break from this IPL league. Jonathan Trott (Image Credit- Twitter) 5 Cricketers who left cricket due to mental stress: With the increasing demands of international cricket over the years, mental health risks have also followed suit. Cricket is fast becoming famous all over the world and every day we get to see the start of tournaments and leagues one after the other. IPL is dominant all over the world and seeing this, new leagues have been started in many countries. But somewhere, it is becoming too much for cricket fans and players. In pursuit of money, players are devoting equal amount of time to their country as well as to other leagues, due to which they are not able to manage their workload properly. The result of this is that either the players get injured and go on a break for a long time or they are under mental stress. Mental stress has now become such a thing in cricket that players are quickly becoming its victims. This is because the players, who are playing matches one after the other, are not able to take time out for themselves nor are they giving rest to their body and mind. It is very difficult to maintain constant form, in such a situation players stretch themselves too much. As a result, there is a lot of pressure on their mind and they become victims of mental stress. Glenn Maxwell has recently become its victim, RCB’s star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell suddenly decided to take an indefinite break from this IPL league. However, this is not the first time that a cricketer has taken such a decision due to mental fatigue. Many cricketers have done this before also. See here the names of those 5 players who left cricket due to mental stress- 5. Glenn Maxwell Glenn Maxwell (Image Credit- Twitter X) RCB’s star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has decided to take an indefinite break from the IPL due to poor batting form. Maxwell announced the decision after being ruled out of RCB’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. Maxwell blamed his mental and physical health problems for this.

GT vs SRH Turning point of match: Gujarat could have lost due to this mistake of David Miller and Sai Sudarshan, know what was the turning point?
Gujarat Titans won the match with 5 balls remaining and won by 7 wickets. GT vs SRH Turning point of match: The 12th match of IPL 2024 was played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans. Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and batted first in this match and scored 162 runs on the scoreboard at the loss of 8 wickets. Gujarat Titans team won the match with 5 balls remaining and won by 7 wickets. With this victory, Gujarat Titans has won 2 out of 3 matches and reached fourth place in the points table with 4 points. At the same time, SRH has won 1 out of 3 matches and is at fifth position in the points table. Talking about the match, today the explosive batting from Hyderabad side which was against Mumbai Indians was not seen. All the big names flopped and no batsman could cross the 30-run mark. Mayank Agarwal scored 16 runs, Travis Head scored only 19 runs in 14 balls, Abhishek Sharma (29), Heinrich Klaasen (24) and Aiden Markram (17) could not play any major innings. Shahbaz Ahmed scored 22 runs in 20 balls. Abdul Samad played an inning of 29 runs in 14 balls, due to which Sunrisers Hyderabad was able to reach a respectable score. GT vs SRH Turning point of match: David Miller and Sai Sudarshan’s brilliant partnership made the game for Gujarat Gujarat Titans, who came to chase the target, got the first blow in the form of Wriddhiman Saha. Saha was batting brilliantly, but was out after scoring 25 runs in 13 balls. After that Shubman Gill lost his wicket. Gill played an inning of 36 runs in 28 balls. After this the innings needed stability, because the wicket of any one batsman could be very heavy for the team. There was a partnership of 64 runs between David Miller and Sai Sudarshan for the third wicket, which completely changed the game. Sai Sudarshan played an inning of 45 runs in 36 balls with the help of 4 fours and 1 six, which was a big turning point for the team. David Miller also supported him and led the team to victory by playing an unbeaten inning of 44 runs with the help of 4 fours and 2 sixes in 27 balls. If these two batsmen did not support each other and a partnership could not be formed between them, then perhaps this match would also have been lost to Gujarat.

The 24-year-old revealed that his illness has made him hold the team back at times, and he has felt guilty on many occasions. In December 2023, it was revealed that Cameron Green had been suffering from this serious kidney disease since childhood. During a conversation with Channel 7, the youngster had said that his condition is in the second stage and needs to be taken good care of to prevent it from progressing rapidly. Speaking during an interaction organized by RCB, Green on several occasions asked himself why this was happening to him. He said on this- Sometimes you have to put the team behind you – Cameron Green “You get quite emotional because it feels like it’s all against you. Like, why is this happening now? No one else is being affected by this. You feel a little guilty, that you have to hold the team back a little. Sometimes it becomes quite emotional.” “It is challenging sometimes, especially in India, sometimes, there are limited options to eat. Because of my condition, I have to take care of my salt and protein. I have to keep it under control during cricket. I can increase my salt intake a bit while playing cricket because obviously, I need to play cricket.” Since his international debut in 2020, Green has been seen as the future of the Australian team and has played impressive innings across all three formats. Recently, he scored 174 runs against New Zealand in Wellington to lead Australia to a comprehensive Test win.

In this match played at the home ground of Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by eight runs. After giving the captaincy of Mumbai Indians to Pandya, the fans were very angry with the franchise and in this match they clearly expressed their displeasure by raising slogans and posters. Rohit Sharma and many Mumbai Indians fans who came to watch the match at Narendra Modi Stadium trolled Hardik Pandya and raised slogans against him. Mumbai Indians are seen as the most successful team of IPL. Under the leadership of former team captain Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians have won five IPL titles. There are crores of fans of Mumbai Indians team. But this season, the captaincy of Mumbai team has been given not to Rohit Sharma but to Hardik Pandya, due to which his fan base has decreased.

Along with this, commentators also raised questions on many decisions of Hardik Pandya during the match. Let us take a look at 3 wrong decisions of Hardik Pandya as Mumbai Indians captain- Here’s 3 wrong decisions of Hardik Pandya as MI Captain 1. Despite Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik started bowling first. Jasprit Bumrah, IPL 2024 (Photo Source: Mumbai Indians won the toss and decided to bowl first. As soon as the match against Gujarat started, all the veteran cricketers and commentators including the fans were surprised. Despite having an excellent fast bowler like Bumrah in the team, Hardik Pandya decided to bowl himself instead of handing him the new ball. But this decision of Pandya failed and Gujarat washed them in the very first over. He gave 11 runs in the first over. Former England player Kevin Pietersen also questioned why Hardik bowled the first over himself even when Jasprit Bumrah was in the team. The limit was reached when, even after this, Hardik bowled the third over himself and gave 9 runs. But when Bumrah was given the first over, he bowled Saha and gave Mumbai the first wicket. After the match, Irfan Pathan also clearly said that Hardik Pandya made a mistake by bowling the first over.
