Glenn Maxwell was axed from Punjab Kings squads after a similar horror run in IPL 2020. In that season, he scored 108 runs in 13 matches at an average of 15.42 and a strike rate of 101.88. Virat kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell formed a formidable trio at RCB even though they failed to hand RCB their maiden IPL trophy. But going by the latest developments, it's very likely that Maxwell and du Plessis would be released by the Bengaluru-based franchise. The IPL owners meeting with the BCCI will also have discussion over the reintroduction of Right-To-Match option (RTM). The owners are keen on having the option to five to six retentions. If the RTM option is brought back, or an increased number of retentions are allowed, RCB could look to retain Maxwell at a lower price.
