Glenn Maxwell
The all-rounder from Australia Glenn Maxwell has been out of form lately but despite the dip in his form. He’s regarded as one of the most dangerous and ruthless batsmen in T20 cricket at the moment. Initially, Maxwell burst into the international circuit because he possessed the ability to go after the bowlers from one ball.
His best IPL performance came in for Kings XI Punjab in 2014 where he scored 552 runs in 16 matches. But post that season, Maxwell’s form dropped and averaged less than 20 in next two seasons. Even though he averaged just 18 in 2018, Maxwell was snapped up by Kings XI Punjab this year for US$1.5 million.
Besides his sublime batting, Maxwell is also a brilliant fielder and is a part-time off-spinner. He’s unlikely to bowl more this year since Punjab have Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Krishnappa Gowtham in their side. It is expected that Maxwell will make it to the playing Xi from the first game itself and will play the role of the finisher for Kings XI Punjab this year.
