Former India wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel made a strong statement on his official X account, as he called Glenn Maxwell the most overrated player in the history of the IPL after his performance in the RCB vs GT clash. Maxwell hasn’t had the best of IPLs this season and had dropped himself from the team mid-way through the tournament as he took a mental health break.
The Aussie all-rounder would return to the lineup in the first RCB vs GT clash where he picked the wicket of Shubman Gill and didn’t need to come into bat as Virat Kohli and Will Jacks got the job done. On Saturday, Maxwell’s services was needed as RCB lost 3 quick wickets after cruising in the powerplay overs of the chase. However, the Aussie star would perish as he tried to ensure RCB were trying to get a better net run-rate in the end.
Maxwell ended up scoring just 4 runs from 3 balls but RCB would ultimately hold on to win the match by 4 wickets. Patel would then post the tweet with his bold statement on X.
“glenn maxwellâæ.HE IS THE MOST OVERRATED player in the history of iplâæ#IPL2024 âæ.” said Patel.
This would create mixed response from fans with some slamming Patel while others siding with him. Patel would also put out a poll asking fans to vote if Maxwell is better as a player for Australia or as an IPL star.
How well has Maxwell performed in IPL 2024?
This would probably go down as Maxwell’s worst IPL season unless he is able to change things up in the final few matches. The Australian all-rounder has scored just 36 runs this season from 8 matches at an average of 5.14 and a strike-rate of 97.29.
