IPL 2018, DD vs KXIP: Hits and Misses

#4 Miss: Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell was once again disappointing

Glenn Maxwell, who captained of Kings XI Punjab, was publically criticized by KXIP mentor Virender Sehwag for not taking responsibility as the team under-performed. He was also dropped from Australia’s ODI team this year. But he roared back into form with a Man of the Series performance in the Trans-Tasmanian tri-series. However, just before that, he was picked up by Delhi Daredevils for a whopping sum of Rs 9 crore.

However, Maxwell hasn’t had the best of starts to this IPL. He started with a couple of low scores but he did score a fluent 47. However, he once again failed in this game.

The Aussie batsman was promoted to No. 3 after Prithvi Shaw had given DD a good start. Maxwell started with a nice boundary to mid-wicket off his first delivery. He then struck a very good six over square-leg off Andrew Tye and it looked like Maxwell was in good touch. However, he once again fell to a poor shot as he tried to hoick a shortish delivery from Ankit Rajpoot. With no pressure of the run-rate, it was a reckless shot from Maxwell as he let his team down with his shot selection yet again.
