Royal Challengers Bengaluru all-rounder Glenn Maxwell faced a season to forget as he failed to deliver for the franchise in the IPL. RCB’s journey came to an end after a defeat to Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator, with Maxwell getting out for a golden duck. The Australian all-rounder faced harsh criticism from former cricketers and fans for his repeated failures throughout the league.
Maxwell’s struggles were evident as he failed to make an impact in crucial moments, including his dismissal on the first ball he faced against Rajasthan. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan took to Twitter to question Maxwell’s performance, while former England captain Kevin Pietersen criticized him on-air for not stepping up in a crucial game.
Fans also expressed their frustration through memes, highlighting Maxwell’s disappointing season with both bat and in the field. Despite being retained by RCB for a hefty fee in the previous auction, Maxwell’s poor form raises doubts about his future with the team.
With the mega auction looming, it remains to be seen if RCB will continue to invest in Maxwell or look for alternatives to strengthen their squad. The Australian all-rounder’s underwhelming performance has left fans and experts questioning his place in the team for the upcoming seasons.
