IPL 2021 | ‘Enjoy my current role in RCB,’ says Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell says he can afford to spend time in the middle
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) took a gamble on Glenn Maxwell at the 2021 IPL auctions. RCB signed Maxwell for ₹14.25 crore despite the Australian’s poor performances in the previous two seasons.
With three match-winning fifties in the last three league outings, Maxwell has certainly silenced the doubters. Maxwell, the key to RCB’s progress to the playoffs, remains a valuable IPL asset.
There are a few factors that have helped Maxwell find success at RCB. The 32-year-old has been slotted at his preferred two-drop spot, which gives him ample time to build an innings. This luxury was not afforded to Maxwell last year at Kings XI Punjab, where he struggled to settle in at three-drop.
