Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had a worst possible start to their IPL 2024 campaign. With the loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday (April 15), RCB have now lost 6 out of 7 matches they have played so far. They have plenty of problems to address with several players going through a bad patch.

RCB’s bowling went to a new low against Sunrsers Hyderabad when they conceded 287 runs at Bengaluru. This is the highest ever team total in an IPL innings. In all, 22 sixes were hit by SRH batters in a six-fest, where 549 runs were scored in the match.

Glenn Maxwell takes indefinite break

In another bad news for the franchise, star allrounder Glenn Maxwell has taken an indefinite break from the IPL. While speaking to the reporters, Maxwell admitted that it is the best time for him to take a physical and mental break. He also hoped that it will give the other players to establish themselves and hopefully make the spot their own.

The 35-year-old Australian thanked the RCB management for understanding his situation. He also added that he will be back for selection if he gets his body and mind in a right state.

Glenn Maxwell has endured a tough time in IPL 2024 so far with just 32 runs in 6 matches, which also includes three ducks. He did not play RCB’s recent game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are languishing at the bottom of the table. They will play their next match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on April 21.
