Maxwell is now the player who has been out on zero the most number of times in the history of IPL. He has been out on zero 18 times in the history of this tournament so far and with this he has reached the first position jointly with Dinesh Karthik. Veteran batsman Rohit Sharma is at the second place in this list, who has been out on zero a total of 17 times in his career so far. While Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star player Sunil Narine is at the third place, who has been out on zero 16 times.

The star all-rounder has not been able to make an impact with his bat in IPL 2024. This can be gauged from the fact that he has been out on zero 4 times this season. Apart from this, in the history of IPL, Maxwell has reached the second place in terms of getting out on the first ball. The 35-year-old has been out on the first ball a total of 9 times in the history of the league. Above him is only star spinner Rashid Khan, who has been out on zero on the first ball 11 times.

Actually, the right-handed batsman made this shameful record when he was out for zero on the first ball in the match played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. As soon as Maxwell came to the crease, he tried to hit a six against the legendary off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on the first ball, but the ball did not hit the bat properly and Dhruv Jurel, present at midwicket, took a brilliant catch. With this the 35 year old had to leave the field and this shameful record was registered in his name.
