IPL 2025: The 31st match of the Indian Premier League 2025 is currently being played between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. The match is being hosted by Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer decided to bat first after winning the toss against his old team KKR, but the Punjab team is seen in trouble in front of Kolkata's tremendous bowling.

At the same time, in this match, one such player is also playing, which Preity Zinta bought for 4.2 crores in the IPL (IPL 2025) auction, but after watching his recent form, he can be dropped from the middle season team.

Ball did not run again

Punjab Kings (IPL 2025) star all -rounder Glenn Maxwell once again flopped with the bat. Fans of Punjab expected a big innings from Maxwell, who came out to bat at number seven under difficult circumstances, but once again he returned to the pavilion after disappointing everyone.

Maxwell bolts on the first ball of Varun Chakraborty, who came to throw the 10th over of the innings. During this time, Maxwell could score 7 runs off 10 balls, in which he hit a four.

However, this is not the first time Maxwell has played such an irresponsible innings. Even before this, he has flopped many times in this season. The form of Glenn Maxwell of Punjab Kings (IPL 2025) can be assessed from the fact that he has scored a minor average of 8.20 in 5 innings and just 41 runs at a strike rate of 100.

Opportunities are constantly getting

Glenn Maxwell has not yet performed in IPL 2025 (IPL 2025) as expected, but despite this the team management is constantly expressing confidence in them. This player was bought by Punjab by paying a hefty price of Rs 4.2 crore in the mega auction, but he has not yet justified this price. Today (15 April), Maxwell's expectation is very less visible to get a chance in the next match. Maxwell has killed the ax on her leg by performing this bad performance. He has neither been able to meet the expectations of captain Shreyas Iyer nor on the expectations of his compatriot head coach Ricky Ponting.

Punjab's condition worsened

Well, if we talk about the match between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, then the condition of Punjab seems to be very bad in its home ground. After winning the toss and batting first, Punjab had lost 4 wickets for 54 runs at one time and for a score of 74, the team of Punjab had returned to the pavilion. From here, Punjab needed Glenn Maxwell's experience, but he also continued on a score of 76. After this, Suryansh Shedge, who came as an impact player, could also score 4 runs and on seeing this, Punjab scored 86 wickets.
