The RCB team, which has lost five out of six matches in the IPL, has suffered another setback. All-rounder Glenn Maxwell is injured and will not play in the next match.
Despite scoring 196 runs at the Wankhede Stadium, RCB lost to Mumbai Indians. The performance of the bowlers in this match was average. RCB are currently ninth in the points table after losing five out of six matches.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a disappointing IPL season this year. Although the good form of former captain Virat Kohli continues, the RCB team has been hit by the performance of other batsmen and bowlers not expected. The loss against Mumbai Indians was RCB’s fourth consecutive defeat.
RCB’s next match will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 15. Ahead of this match, the RCB team has suffered a major setback. Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is injured. So he is unlikely to play in the next match.
Glenn Maxwell’s performance in IPL is disappointing. His form is lost. He looks to be struggling for runs. Against the Mumbai Indians team, Maxwell could not even open the account of runs. Maxwell injured his thumb while fielding. Suryakumar Yadav’s hard hit from Akash Deep went to Maxwell. He couldn’t catch it. But that strong blow hurt his thumb. Maxwell then walked off the field.
Maxwell’s ‘Golden Duck’ record
Maxwell’s bat is still quiet in the IPL season and he seems to be struggling to score runs. Maxwell was dismissed against Mumbai Indians without even opening his account. It was the 17th time in his IPL career that Maxwell returned to the pavilion on a wicket. In the meantime, he made an unwanted record to his name. He is the most dismissed player in the history of IPL. Maxwell has equalled Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik in this regard. He is the first foreigner to get out so many times against the Golden Ducks in the IPL.
Green will be back
If Maxwell misses out against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Cameron Green could get a chance in the playing XI in his place. Like Maxwell, Green’s performance this season has not been anything special. Due to this, he was not included in the XI against Mumbai Indians. Will Jacks was included in place of Green against Mumbai. But if Maxwell is not present, Green may return to the playing XI
