5 reasons why Glenn Maxwell’s selection as KXIP skipper is a wrong move

#2 Burden of captaincy could affect his batting

On his day, the Aussie can take the game away from the opposition in no time

Maxwell is a kind of a player who would like to play freely and express himself out in the middle. He can be a nightmare to bowl to when he is in form and bowling to him with the white ball has always been a challenge. Some players thrive under pressure and flourish once loaded with responsibilities.

The kind of game and characteristic Maxwell possesses, it gives us an impression that he is better off playing as a batsman. As the skipper, he will have the burden of setting an example for the team, which may curb his natural instincts. Maxwell can be a good lieutenant, but this is certainly not the time for him to don the captain’s hat.

A team would want to see the manic version of Maxwell and changing the complexion of the game quickly instead of him playing the anchor role in the lineup.
