Glenn Maxwell scored an unbeaten 50 as RCB romped to a seven-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals in Dubai on Wednesday. In the process, they moved up to 14 points and remain in the top four. The Royals on the other hand have endured yet another loss and stay at seventh position in the points table. A playoff qualification is now seeming distant for the inaugural IPL champions.
Glenn Maxwell paced his innings very well scoring fifty off just 30 deliveries. His knock helped the side to win the game inside 18 overs. He added a 69-run stand with Srikar Bharat who also scored 44 off 35 balls.
During his knock, he had a face-off with Chris Morris who had a go at Australian. It was a bad day at the office for Morris as he went for 50 with the ball after just scoring 14 with the bat.
Twitter Reacts To Glenn Maxwell Blitz Against RR
Meanwhile, Twitter relished some entertaining batting from the”Big Show” who hit six fours and a six during his knock.
What are they feeding Maxwell at #RCB which he didn’t get at other franchises?! #IPL2021 #RRvRCB

Solid win. After the first 10 overs who would have thought RR would not even be there. Virat and @RCBTweets one step closer. Maxwell superb again. KS Bharat very good to see.

Glenn Maxwell has been a star for RCB this season. Mostly no one expected that Maxwell will be in such good form.

Maxwell gave his team due credit for playing professional cricket in this game and doing almost all the things right.
“I thought we played really well. They got off to an absolute flier and to bring them back in the last 10 overs was outstanding, then we controlled the tempo of the innings and finished it off. I have felt good since coming here, got myself into a nice routine at training and outside of training as well, just feel like it is really clicking for me. I don’t suppose it (the atmosphere) is different to any other franchise, just what we have created as a group. It is nice to have a bunch of guys doing different things and not relying on one guy. Everyone is chipping in and it has been a really enjoyable group so far” said Maxwell after RCB’s comfortable win.
