Questions raised on Maxwell’s batting

Glenn Maxwell was once again sent to bat on number-4 at the playing XI of Punjab Kings. But the Australian star could not meet expectations once again. He scored 7 runs in just 8 balls and was dismissed by Varun Chakraborty. There was resentment among cricket experts and fans regarding his poor form.

Maxwell’s poor form in IPL 2025

Glenn Maxwell’s performance in this season has been very disappointing. He has scored just 48 runs in 7 matches so far and his average has been just 8.00. These figures are quite shocking for any experienced player.

Raina attacked Maxwell

When Varun Chakraborty dismissed Maxwell, Suresh Raina made a funny but stinging comment in Star Sports’ Hindi commentary. He said, “Varun Chakraborty keeps Maxwell in his pocket.” This comment of Raina also received a lot of reactions on social media.

Maxwell’s poor record against Chakraborty

Varun Chakraborty and Maxwell have been seen in T20 cricket many times. So far, Varun has bowled him 8 times and dismissed him 5 times. Seeing this figure, Raina’s comment looks even more accurate. He further said that he does not remember when Maxwell played a good innings for the last time. Punjab Kings have given him many opportunities, but they are failing again and again.
