Irrespective of his from, Australia’s explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has always been a hot pick for the franchises on the auction table. In IPL 2020, Maxwell succumbed to a horrendous outing for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) as he could gather just 108 runs in 14 matches without hitting a single maximum.

Despite the forgettable season, Maxwell caused a bidding war on the auction table as Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings went berserk over the all-rounder. In the end, RCB had to shell out a staggering amount of INR 14.25 crores to acquire the services of Maxwell.

The off-spinner justified his hefty paycheck as in the seven matches of IPL 2021, he played many match-defining knocks to bail RCB out from crunch situations. The 32-year-old collected 223 runs from seven mixtures at a strike rate of 144.80. With his performance in IPL 2021, Maxwell has again filed a case for himself to become one of the costliest, If not the costliest, buy of IPL 2022 auction.
