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.

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.
