Maxwell’s performance in IPL 2024 has been very ordinary.
Veteran Australian player Glenn Maxwell, who performed brilliantly in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and the last two seasons of IPL, has not been able to continue his amazing form in IPL 2024.
Maxwell could not show anything special with the bat in IPL and his team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)’s journey ended after losing to Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets in the eliminator. On the other hand, former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwari has given a big statement criticizing Maxwell for his very ordinary performance in IPL.
Manoj Tiwari criticized Glenn Maxwell’s performance
Let us tell you that in a discussion with Cricbuzz, Manoj Tiwari said about Glenn Maxwell – Maxwell has to come forward, in the eliminator match, there was a situation where he had to stay in batting. You have a lot of experience of international cricket, and when you play for Australia, you perform very well. But as soon as you come to IPL, I don’t know what happens to you.
Tiwari further said- It seems that he is not interested in playing IPL. He is not bothered about the match, his bank balance is fine and the payment cheque will arrive after that. He will mingle with people at night, laugh and joke and get photographed.
What was the end result for RCB? You play to win, and they won six matches in a row to reach the playoffs, but the ultimate goal was to win the trophy, and they are not there. The problem lies in the team itself.
So if we give you information about Maxwell’s performance in the ongoing IPL, then he scored only 52 runs in 10 matches at a modest average of 5.77. While in one match he played an innings of 28 runs. Also, he got out on a duck four times. However, now it will be worth seeing whether RCB retains him before the mega auction of IPL 2025 or not?
