Australian explosive batsman Glenn Maxwell who had a brilliant IPL stint with the RCB side has revealed how two greats of the game in Virat and AB influenced his very own game. Maxwell had one of his best IPL seasons if not the best in this 2021 season as he finished as the top scorer for the RCB franchise with 513 runs in 15 games.

He also finished fifth in the race for the orange cap and it has been a significant rise in his individual game. Having struggled to play the role of a finisher for various franchises in the last four to five years, he finally was assigned a different role of playing in the top order and he took it with both hands. He also kept contributing with the ball and he has always been an incredible fielder.
