Maxwell goes from being a laughing stock to genius in 1 season

In 13 matches for Kings XI Punjab last season, Glenn Maxwell flopped miserably. He scored just 108 runs with no fifties, no sixes, a boring average of 15 and a strike rate of just over 100. Royal Challengers Bangalore showed faith in the Australian after Kings XI Punjab offloaded him before the auction. To adjust the 32-year-old, Captain Virat Kohli made changes to the batting order and pushed AB de Villiers down to free up some space for the destructive Australian smasher. The gamble paid off as Maxwell came out all guns blazing and smashed 39 runs off 28 balls laced with 3 fours and 2 sixes. The innings might have been cut short early, but Maxwell reminded his fans that he is in top form, making the RCB management quite happy after splurging Rs 14.25 crore on him.
