GT vs RCB: Glenn Maxwell has made a comeback in the Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Titans match played on Sunday. He returned after sitting out for 3 matches and immediately showed signs of coming back to his form by taking wickets. In this match, Maxwell has sent Gujarat captain Shubman Gill to the pavilion on the score of 16 runs. Gill appeared to be struggling in this match, who played 19 balls to score 16 runs, in which he hit only 1 four. Let us tell you that this was Maxwell's first over after his return and on his fourth ball he got Gill caught by Cameron Green. After taking the wicket, Maxwell looked full of enthusiasm.
Glenn Maxwell was seen playing for Mumbai Indians before taking a break. In that match, Maxwell was out on the score of zero while batting. Whereas in bowling, he gave away 17 runs in just one over. After that, Maxwell did not play in the second match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders and Hyderabad. Maxwell said that he is taking a break to feel mentally and physically healthy. Before the match against MI, Maxwell had scored only 32 runs in 6 matches and had taken only 4 wickets.

The last season was also not good for Glenn Maxwell. He scored only 19 runs while playing 7 matches in IPL 2023. Even in bowling, he was able to take only 7 wickets. This time also there has not been much improvement in his form. Since T20 World Cup 2024 is approaching, Maxwell's return to form can prove him to be a strong link of the Australian team. However, RCB's chances of reaching the IPL 2024 playoffs are almost over. That's why perhaps Maxwell delayed his return to form.
