Mumbai: Royal Challengers Bangalore fans are waiting to see Glenn Maxwell’s batting in the IPL 2022. Fans are eager to know when Maxi, who joined the late squad, can play. RCB head coach Mike Hesson has released the latest information on Maxwell’s availability.
But today, Maxwell will not be able to play against the Rajasthan Royals. This is because of Cricket Australia’s guidelines. Cricket Australia has issued a directive that any player with a contract with Australia before April 6 should not be in the playing XI. With this, Maxi will be available to play in the RCB shirt from the ninth of this month. Bangalore will play Mumbai Indians on April 9. The match will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
Glenn Maxwell is one of the three players retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the megastar auction for the 15th season of the IPL. Maxie was the leading run-scorer in the RCB last season. The Australian all-rounder hit 513 runs in 14 innings. This included six half-centuries. He took three wickets in 16 overs in the IPL 2021 season.
Rajasthan Royals will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in Mumbai at 7.30 pm today. After losing to Punjab, Bangalore overcame Kolkata in the last match. Skipper Faf Duplessis, Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik are expected to score runs. If at least two of them do not get on the crease, Bangalore will sweat. Vanindu Hasaranga’s all round performance is also promising. How David Willie, Herschelle Patel and Mohammad Siraj bowl in the powerplay and death overs will also be crucial for Bangalore.
