In a fresh attack on Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag said that the Australian comes to the Indian Premier League just to enjoy and have free drinks while sitting in the hotel rooms during his stays.
Commenting on the impressive performance of Maxwell in the recently-concluded ODI and T20 series against India, Sehwag said that Maxwell do realise that it will be tough for him to bounce back in the Australian team if he fails for a longer period of time as he does in the IPL and hence his level of performance never dips while playing international cricket but his numbers in the IPL has been terrible in the recent past.
“His attitude changes when he plays for Australia. When he goes to Australia, he knows that if he has two or three bad innings, he will be left out of the Australian team and it will be difficult to make a comeback,” Sehwag said on the Sony Sports Network where has been an analyst during the ongoing series between Australia and India, has not made such remarks on Maxwell for the first time.
Earlier, Sehwag, while reviewing the performance of the Australian all-rounder in the IPL 2020, Sehwag had ripped into his poor showing and called out his inefficient attitude in the cash-rich league. He had labelled Maxwell as a ‘Rs 10 crore cheerleader’ to which Maxwell had replied saying that he is aware of Sehwag’s outspoken dislike for him and that he is in the media because of those statements he makes of him. Maxwell also said that he takes Sehwag’s comment with a grain of salt and moves on.
Notably, Maxwell was a force to reckon with in the white-ball series vs India as he unleashed onslaughts against Indian bowlers in both the formats while his batting form was abysmal, to say the least in the IPL held earlier this year where he could not hit even a solitary six and that’s quite appalling for a batsman of Maxwell’s standards.
