Michael Vaughan, the former England cricketer, is adamant that Glenn Maxwell will fetch one of the highest prices during the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions. In the recently finished three-match ODI series against India, Maxwell was among the top run scorers with scores of 45 (19), 63*(19), and 59(38). The Victorian cricketer contributed significantly to his team's victories in the first and second ODIs by averaging 83.50 and striking out at a rate of over 190.
In the year 2009, Glenn Maxwell initially joined the Victorian cricket team. He has continuously made a positive impact and elevated his nation. In addition, Maxwell played in both the ICC World Twenty20 and the Indian Premier League in 2014. The cricketer has also helped the Australian team in several other games in various ways. Glenn Maxwell’s stats show that he is a committed player. He has also participated in multiple matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League.
The right-handed cricketer showed some amazing skills with the bat in IPL 2020, played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) before the current home series. He was one of the players with the highest bids in the IPL 2020 auctions, and the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) won him for a staggering 10.75 crore Indian rupees. Glenn Maxwell’s stats have been elevated even more after he joined the IPL. He has also faced lows in his career. He could only muster 108 runs in 13 innings, a 15.43 average, and a 101.89 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2020.
Maxwell has had great success in T20Is, where he has two centuries and 22 half-centuries to his credit and boasts average and strike rates of 33.52 and 158.37, respectively. However, he has yet to be able to give comparable results in the most recent iterations of the lucrative T20 competition.
According to Vaughan, Glenn Maxwell is one of the most sought-after players in teams worldwide due to his all-around impact as a batsman, bowler, and a great fielder in limited-overs cricket. Maxwell is now a member of the Australian team preparing for the upcoming three T20 International matches against India. The first T20I in the series is set to take place at Canberra's Manuka Oval on December 4. The subsequent games will then be played at Sydney's Cricket Ground.
The all-rounder gained popularity in 2011 when he hit a record-breaking 50 off just 19 deliveries to help Victoria defeat Tasmania. But it was his performance for the Australian Institute of Sports in the “Emerging Player” event when he smashed 110 off 52 balls with nine fours and eight sixes, that drew the attention of Delhi selectors, who then recruited him as Travis Birt's replacement for the fifth season of the Indian T20 League in 2012.
The Australian player was unexpectedly chosen by Mumbai in the Indian T20 League player auction in 2013, and Mumbai paid a stunning million US dollars for him, making him the league's newest million-dollar champion. He warmed up on the bench for the majority of the season, though, and only participated in a few games at the end of the competition. In the course of five months in 2012/13, he made his ODI, T20I, and Test debuts. However, it is reasonable to say that the 2014 Indian T20 League was the event that cemented his status as a household name worldwide.
Glenn Maxwell is one of the most alluring batsmen in the world, especially in the limited-overs format. He fits the description of the ideal all-rounder thanks to his aggressive batting approach at any position, from opener to No. 7, handy off-spin bowling, and exquisite fielding. In order to throw the ball deep into the stands, he frequently employs his "swivel slog sweep," which he is excellent at assessing slower balls.
