Glenn Maxwell, IPL 2025
Maxwell has endured a tough IPL season, scoring just 48 runs in the 6 innings he batted. With the ball, Maxwell has taken 4 wickets. Maxwell would have been handy to counter CSK’s left-hand batters, Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja. Maxwell bowled two overs for 11 runs and dismissed Rachin Ravindra in the previous meeting between the sides in New Chandigarh.
