The Indian Premier League famously called the IPL, is one of the biggest cricket tournaments. Every cricketer around the world dreams of playing in the IPL. One of the main reasons why it is one of the biggest tournaments is that top players from every cricketing nation play together for two months. Similarly, the Australian cricketer, Glenn Maxwell has always dreamed of playing in the IPL, and his recent statement will melt your heart.
Glenn Maxwell said,
“The IPL will probably be my last cricket tournament.”
Here is the full statement:
“The IPL will probably be the last tournament I ever play. I will play the IPL until I can’t walk anymore.”
Currently, Maxwell is a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad, and he is quite happy with the team. If we look back a few seasons ago, he was a part of the Punjab Kings but wasn’t happy with the team and its environment. Later in the 2021 season, he left the team and was a part of the IPL auction.
A few days before the 2021 IPL auction, he mentioned that he would love to be a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. At that time, AB de Villers and Virat Kohli were part of the squad and wanted to play with them. Well, in the auction, RCB went all-out for him, and currently, he is a part of the squad.
He also mentioned,
After the exit of Abd from the IPL, Maxwell hasn’t let the team feel his absence. He has smashed boundaries for fun and has even picked up wickets on multiple occasions.
