IPL 2024: If the strongest batsman of any team goes through bad form, then understand that the team’s fortunes are going to sink. This is what is happening with RCB in IPL 2024. RCB’s star batsman Glenn Maxwell, who is struggling with weak bowling, has become a headache for the team this season. In the last 6 matches, only 32 runs came from his bat. He could not even open his account in three matches. There was nothing special in bowling either. This is the reason why RCB has lost 5 out of 6 matches.
Glenn Maxwell did wonders for RCB in the last season i.e. IPL 2023, he scored 400 runs in 14 matches at an average of 33.33. Maxi had scored 5 half-centuries that season. A total of 31 sixes were hit, but this season the batsman’s bat has become rusty. He is not even able to stay at the crease for long. As soon as he arrives, he loses his wicket in a few balls.
RCB has experienced batsmen like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik, but the condition of the team is bad. This season, after losing 5 out of 6 matches, they are at number 9 in the points table. Only a miracle can happen here that RCB can qualify. Otherwise, like every time, this team’s dream of lifting the trophy, which looks strong on paper, will remain unfulfilled.
32 runs in 6 matches of IPL 2024, did not open account in three matches
Glenn Maxwell was out for zero against CSK in the first match of this season. Then in the second match he scored 3 runs against Punjab, in the third match he played an innings of 28 runs, which is also his high score this season. In the fourth match, they were again at zero. In the fifth match, everyone expected Maxwell to do something big, but against Rajasthan Royals he scored 1 run. His account did not open in the sixth match against Mumbai Indians.
