Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), captained by Faf du Plessis, has suffered another major setback during the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB team's star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who is struggling with continuous defeats, has decided to take a break from IPL 2024. He has also given the reason for this. However, the explosive player said that he wants some mental rest and can make a comeback after a short break this season.

Maxwell has not been able to do anything special in the current season and he is going through poor form. He did not get a good innings with his bat in even a single match. After this, many questions were raised on the Australian all-rounder. This season, Maxwell played 6 matches, in which he scored only 32 runs at an average of 5.33 and strike rate of 94.11. Maxwell was also out three times during this period.

Before taking a break from IPL 2024, the 35-year-old player said, “Maybe now the time has come to give a chance to someone else in my place in the team. This decision was easy for me. I need to give myself some mental and physical rest. I have talked to the coach and captain about this.”

He further said, “If the team needs me more, I will definitely come back with a solid mindset. After the powerplay, I could not perform as expected for the team.”
