    Glenn Maxwell is one of the marquee players to watch out for in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. The Australian all-rounder is best known for his ability to uplift the team’s scoreboard with his fearless brand of cricket. Besides destroying the opposition’s confidence with his batting abilities, he can also deliver the goods with the ball.

    Glenn Maxwell is also an exceptional fielder and RCB will heavily rely on this three-dimensional material in the next season. He amassed 513 runs in 15 matches including six fifties at a strike rate of 144.10 and took 3 wickets in IPL 2021 season for RCB. Maxwell went on to score 301 runs and took six wickets in 13 games in IPL 2022 season.

    On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s top asset, Wanindu Hasaranga turned out to be an instant hit ever since he joined the RCB franchise. Wanindu Hasaranga who operates as a bowling all-rounder was released by RCB after the IPL 2021 season but was purchased by the franchise for INR 10.75 crore at IPL 2022 mega-auction. He took as many as 26 wickets in 18 games including one fifer.
