How has Glenn Maxwell performed against KKR?
When the match started, Maxwell's dream of a big inning in IPL 2025 broke again. He came in when PBKS were doing nicely and were safely placed at 160/2 after 15 overs.
He came with the hope to smash some big hits, but Varun Chakravarthy turned out to be a nightmare for the explosive batter yet again. Facing Varun in the 17th over, Maxwell tried to make some room and attempted a cut shot, but he completely missed it. The ball hit the stumps straight, and he got out for just 7 runs in 8 balls.
