Accused of Glenn Maxwell

An expert said, “Looking at Glenn Maxwell, it seemed that he was playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. He had a chance that he would take Australia to 300 runs, but he lost all the opportunities. Apart from this, he also left an easy catch of Virat Kohli. I have never seen Maxwell scoring runs against India ”
