India’s Cheteshwar Pujara and former batting coach Sanjay Bangar criticized Glenn Maxwell for his poor performance in the Indian Premier League. Maxwell has struggled to score runs, averaging only 8.20 in six matches this season. Pujara noted that Maxwell’s casual approach to batting and lack of improvement over the years are concerning. He emphasized the need for Maxwell to wake up and start performing before the patience of the Punjab Kings management runs out. Bangar pointed out that Maxwell’s shortcomings were less noticeable at Royal Challengers Bangalore due to the presence of other key players like Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. However, at Punjab Kings, Maxwell is expected to be a primary overseas batter and needs to find his form quickly. The team will be counting on Maxwell to step up in their upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Overall, both Pujara and Bangar believe that Maxwell needs to find a balance between being casual and performing consistently to secure his place in the team.
