Glenn Maxwell will join the Punjab Kings for IPL 2025
Glenn Maxwell is also one of the in-demand overseas players in the Indian Premier League. He has played for the Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Delhi Capitals.
In 134 matches in IPL, he has 2771 runs with 18 fifties to his name at a strike rate of 156.73 and a best score of 95*. Maxwell has also taken 37 wickets with his off-spin bowling.
The majority of his career was spent with Punjab Kings, for whom he played from 2014 to 2017 and 2020 to 2021. He even captained the franchise, and his best year was 2014, when he scored 552 runs and led PBKS’ charge to the IPL 2014 final. He then scored 513 and 400 runs in IPL 2021 and 2023 for RCB, but overall, his performance has been that of an underachiever.
Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, Royal Challengers Bengaluru had decided to let him go after scoring 52 runs in 10 matches in IPL 2024. He even dropped himself for a few games due to poor form. Therefore, he was let go and entered the IPL auction.
When his name came up, Royal Challengers Bengaluru decided not to bid or use the RTM card for Maxwell. There was a small bidding war between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad before Punjab Kings swooped in with the winning bid of Rs 4.20 crores.
Glenn Maxwell will be beginning his second stint in the IPL with Punjab Kings when the tournament begins in 2025.
In conclusion, Glenn Maxwell, a prominent name in T20 cricket, will join the Punjab Kings for IPL 2025. Despite a challenging season with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024, Maxwell was acquired by Punjab Kings for Rs 4.20 crores in the IPL 2025 mega auction. This marks his return to the franchise where he previously had successful stints. Maxwell's experience and skills will be a valuable addition to the Punjab Kings as they aim for a strong performance in the upcoming season.
