Glenn Maxwell Takes The Biggest Pay Cut In IPL 2025 Auction

The Australian star did not have a great season in IPL 2024. He scored only 52 runs in 10 innings at an average of 5.78. This could be a reason that RCB did not bid for him or use the RTM for him.

Before Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc was the player with the biggest pay cut in the auction. Notably, the star Aussie pacer took a pay cut of 52%. Given the all-round applicability of Maxxy and his ability to win games with both his trades, it was a steal deal for the Punjab based franchise.
