Glenn Maxwell, the charismatic Australian all-rounder, has sent a wave of excitement through fans of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with his declaration that he intends to play in the tournament ‘until he can’t walk anymore’. This passionate statement reaffirms his deep love for the IPL and his commitment to entertaining fans for the years to come.
The ‘Big Show’, as he is fondly called, sang the praises of the IPL, crediting it for helping him meet incredible people who have benefited his playing career. He described the tournament as “the greatest learning experience that any player could ask for.”
“The IPL will probably be the last tournament I ever play, as I will play the IPL until I can’t walk anymore. I was talking about how good the IPL has been to me throughout my career; the people I’ve met, the coaches I have played under, the international players that you get to rub shoulders with, how beneficial to my whole career that tournament has been. You’re rubbing shoulders with AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli for two months, talking to them while watching other games. It’s just the greatest learning experience that any player could ask for,” Maxwell said.
Maxwell’s dedication towards IPL
Maxwell has emerged as a pivotal player for the Royal Challengers Bangalore over the past three seasons. He has amassed a staggering 1,214 runs in just 42 matches, maintaining an impressive strike rate of over 160. RCB pin their hopes on the continued brilliance of the explosive Maxwell as they chase their elusive first Indian Premier League title in their 17th attempt. Maxwell’s consistent run-scoring and fearless approach are crucial ingredients in RCB’s recipe for success in the upcoming season.
Maxwell, 35, was a crucial figure in Australia’s historic sixth World Cup victory. His unforgettable double century against Afghanistan single-handedly rescued the team from the jaws of defeat, showing his immense talent and unwavering determination. The fact that he achieved this feat while battling excruciating cramps adds another layer of awe to his performance. Maxwell’s impact didn’t end there. He also etched his name in the record books with the fastest century in ODI World Cup history against the Netherlands. His explosive batting, fearless approach and contributions with the ball, were instrumental in guiding Australia to the coveted title.
