Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been an integral part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) squad for the past three seasons. However, despite being an important player for the team, Maxwell has been battling an injury that had kept him away from the game for the last few months. As RCB gear up for their crucial encounter against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2023, Maxwell opened up about his ongoing recovery process.
Glenn Maxwell expressed his happiness about being part of the RCB group, calling it “fun.” He also highlighted the team’s consistency with the bat, and praised Mahipal Lomror for his impressive performance in the last game.

However, the all-rounder admitted that his injury was still bothering him, and he had to go through the rehab process for two more months. Despite the ongoing pain, Maxwell was determined to take on the game and give his best for RCB.
As RCB looks to improve their bowling performance, Glenn Maxwell suggested that the team needs to focus on their lines and lengths and bowl tighter and straighter. This, he believes, will help the team to put more pressure on the opposition and restrict them from scoring freely.

“Has been a great time here. Have enjoyed the last three seasons here at RCB. It is close at the top. Being part of the group is fun. The rehab process is still going on. It will go on for two more months. It still hurts. Still a long way to go. Just taking the game on.”
“We have been quite consistent as a batting group. Great to see Mahipal get the runs in the last game as well. Our lines and lengths were a little wide. Would be looking to bowl a little tight and straighter.”
Despite the ongoing injury, Glenn Maxwell’s presence in the RCB lineup is crucial for the team’s success. His ability to hit big shots and pick up crucial wickets makes him a valuable asset for the Faf Du Plessis-led team. As the IPL 2023 season reaches its business end, RCB will hope that Maxwell can continue to contribute with his all-round skills and help the team clinch their first-ever IPL title.
