IPL 2021: RCB’s skipper reveals the reasons, why RCB purchased Glenn Maxwell

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be hoping that this is the season where they finally claim the coveted Indian Premier League title. RCB reached the playoffs last year but was knocked out by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator.

For the 14th season, RCB has brought in Glenn Maxwell, Dan Christian, and Kyle Jamieson into the squad and they would be hoping that their big-money signings can come up trumps this year.

Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli has revealed what made the franchise bid aggressively for Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell during the IPL 2021 Auctions earlier this year.
RCB skipper Virat Kohli is happy with what he has seen of Maxwell ahead of the season as he commented that he has seen different energy about the batsman this season.

‘We wanted Maxi. Specifically, we targeted to go for him in the auctions and when things end up happening the way you thought they would, you feel great. Camps sent me that picture of them (referring to Adam Zampa & Glenn Maxwell)at a practice session handing over the RCB cap even before the auction happened. Camps is a very funny guy, thought it was hilarious and I sent it to Maxi as well,’ said Kohli in a video uploaded by the Bengaluru-based franchise on their official Twitter handle.

“He is a good guy. We have caught up in the past as well when I was in Australia on a tour. He’s just very happy to be in RCB and I see different energy about him this time around”, he added.
Maxwell will look to start afresh this year and if he finds his form, everyone knows what ‘Big Show’ is capable of.
