5. Unbeaten 50 against Rajasthan Royals, 2021

In the second leg of the 2021 IPL, when RCB clashed with Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Dubai International Stadium, the former got a convincing seven-wicket win with the amazing batting effort of Maxwell. Winning the toss, RCB elected to field first, and riding on their bowlers’ excellent work, they contained the 2008 champions on 149.

Chasing the target, Bangalore got a fine start from their openers Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal but after the dismissal of both batters, Maxwell took the matter into his own hands and did a finishing job with his rapid knock of 50 off just 30 deliveries. His spunky innings included six fours and a maximum.
