5 Released RCB players who could trigger bidding war between PBKS and DC at auction

1. Glenn Maxwell

Veteran Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been part of released by RCB after their four-year association. The 36-year-old, who is known to have been part of the competition since 2012 has become one of the biggest names in franchise cricket. Known for his aggressive batting and handy spin bowling, Maxwell had a subpar 2024 season, where he was dropped in the mid-tournament. Though he has been released, historically he has earned big sums at the auction table and can make the franchises lift the paddle for him and go all out. 

Maxwell can be seen donning the PBKS or DC jersey, as he has previously been part of both these teams. With Punjab, Maxwell joined them in 2014 and was associated with them till 2017, and then returned in the 2020 season. With Ricky Ponting now being the PBKS coach, there is a high possibility that the all-rounder is back in the Punjab dressing room. While, Delhi was the Melbourne-born's first IPL team, which he represented in 2012 and once more in 2018. DC can bid for him looking at his experience and ability to snatch the game away from the jaws of the opposition.
