“I don’t know what kind of rig Glenn Maxwell needs to mine. It came early (against Sunrisers Hyderabad) after Punjab quickly lost two batters. This time there were many excesses left, but it failed.

“I cannot understand his way of thinking because it has been the same story every year. They sell it at auction for a high price, but the result remains the same. Yet people (franchises) chase him. This is something I do not understand. At the next auction, I think its price will drop from Rs 10 crore to around Rs. 1-2 crore rupees which is what it should be.

In six IPL games, Maxwell has scored 1, 5, 13, 11, 11 * and 7, which are pretty poor numbers for someone of caliber. Plus, Maxwell has passed 58 balls at IPL 2020 without hitting a single six, which is a pretty obvious statistic. KXIP has the option to avoid his slip when he takes on the Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has asked to be sent off from Game XI, while former India player Spinner Pragyan Ojha feels Gayle will replace him in the next match.
