Ο Glen Maxwell, γνωστός για το εκρηκτικό του μπόουλινγκ και το οικονομικό μπόουλινγκ, βρίσκεται στη δημοπρασία IPL 2025 Οι Punjab Kings τον κοιτάζουν για τις ολόπλευρες δεξιότητές του και την προηγούμενη επιτυχία του με το franchise.
Glen Maxwell is a name synonymous with explosive batting, high-impact strokes, and some unexpected wickets in bowling. Known for his fearless approach, the Australian all-rounder will enter the IPL 2025 auction in Jeddah, taking place on 24th and 25th of November, and is going to have some attention. After being released by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) this year, Maxwell has a base price of 2 crore rupees. Among the suitors eyeing him, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) appear to be the most probable team to buy him in the mega auction. Here’s why:
1. PBKS’ Australia connection
Over the years, Punjab Kings have consistently shown a preference for Australian players in their lineup. Previously acquiring Glenn Maxwell in past seasons, the team might look to reunite with him. With Ricky Ponting, a fellow Australian, being part of the team management as a coach, Maxwell’s inclusion seems more feasible. Ponting could advocate for Maxwell, given their shared nationality and understanding of the game.
2. Big purse and dual role
Maxwell’s ability to both bat and bowl makes him a valuable asset. His prowess in the middle order could fulfil Punjab Kings’ requirement for a player who can stabilise innings and simultaneously deliver destructive shots. Additionally, Maxwell’s bowling skills enable him to contribute crucial overs in the middle of the innings, offering strategic flexibility. With a substantial budget, Punjab Kings can afford to place competitive bids for Maxwell, ensuring they secure him amidst expected high demand.
3. Familiarity with the franchise
Maxwell’s previous stint with Punjab Kings in 2014 has seen a memorable journey. That year, he played a key role as the team reached the IPL finals, showcasing his ability to make an impact. His familiarity with the franchise could be proved as a major advantage, potentially reviving the same form that drove the team to its historic success. Maxwell’s past association might position him as a corny and strategic choice for Punjab Kings, who aim to replicate their 2014 glory, but this time winning in the finals.
