Australian cricket all-rounder Glenn Maxwell’s struggle in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season continued as he faced another setback during the clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Maxwell, renowned for his aggressive batting style and power-hitting abilities, disappointed once again, adding another single-digit score to his tally. In the match against RR, Maxwell fell for just one run, contributing to RCB’s woes.
The crucial moment came in the 15th over of RCB’s innings when RR’s captain, Sanju Samson, reintroduced left-arm speedster Nandre Burger into the attack. Burger’s return proved instrumental as he swiftly dismissed Maxwell with a well-directed delivery.
Despite initially maintaining a tight line, Burger’s delivery proved too challenging for Maxwell, who attempted a forceful shot over the leg side. Unfortunately for Maxwell and RCB, he failed to connect cleanly, resulting in his dismissal as the ball crashed into the stumps.

Maxwell’s dismissal highlighted his ongoing struggles in the IPL season, leaving him visibly disappointed as he made his way back to the dugout. With each batting failure, the pressure continues to mount on the explosive Australian cricketer.
For RCB, Maxwell’s inability to deliver consistently with the bat poses a significant concern, especially considering his reputation as a match-winner in the T20 format. As the IPL season progresses, RCB will be hopeful that Maxwell can rediscover his form and make meaningful contributions to the team’s success.
In the meantime, Maxwell’s fans and cricket enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting his resurgence, hoping to witness the return of his trademark explosive batting displays on the IPL stage.
