Follow UsGlenn Maxwell has had a poor start to an Indian Premier League (IPL) once again, and criticism has started to come in on the Australian all-rounder who’s playing for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) this 2025 season.
Even in the last game against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Maxwell failed to do his role and bail PBKS out of trouble in the 206-run chase in Mullanpur on April 5 (Saturday). He struggled to get going after coming in the seventh over following a collapse and could score only 30 off 21 deliveries.
This is after he was dismissed on a duck against the Gujarat Titans (GT). He could only score 39 runs in the three Champions Trophy games he played as well.
“Halley’s Comet orbits the sun and is visible from Earth once every 75 years. Just like that, Glenn Maxwell plays one good match in 75 games,” Sanjay Manjrekar said on Jio Hotstar.
“It was last seen in 1986, and it will now be spotted in 2061. It’s the same case with Maxwell in batting. Glenn Maxwell is Halley’s Comet of Cricket.”
Maxwell was bought for INR 4.2 crore at the mega auction after he had a terrible season with the RCB, where he scored just 52 runs in 10 games.
