  • Sehwag Attacks Glenn Maxwell Again Says He Comes To Ipl For Free Drinks

Sehwag attacks Glenn Maxwell again; says he comes to IPL for 'free drinks'


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.

AUS vs IND: Vice-captain Cummins hopeful of Pucovski's recovery in time before 1st Test

Australian vice-captain Pat Cummins expressed hope that the young opener Will Pucovski will recover well in time from the concussion he suffered in the practice game for Australia A against India A on December 08. Pucovski had taken a blow to his head when he took his eyes off the ball from a bouncer off Kartik Yagi on the last day of the three-day game that ended in a draw. “It's not great. But I suppose in cricket it's been spread out over a few years. The good thing is he's been through it and he knows how to come back. He's obviously got the best experts around him that are going to help him. I wish him all the best but it's obviously not ideal. You just want to go out and play sport, you don't want to think about these kinds of things or your health. Fingers crossed, he'll be OK,” Sydney Morning Herald quoted Cummins as saying. Pucovski has a getting stuck in his head and has also taken bowls off-the-field in his home in Melbourne and also while playing Australian rules football r in his teenage. Pucovski has been in great form and had amassed 495 runs from two Sheffield Shield matches to knock the selection door for the Australian Test team and after the regular opener David Warner was injured, the way was clear for him to make his Test debut against India in Adelaide. Now, Warner has been ruled out of the first Test and Pucovski will most certainly make his debut if recover before the time of the first Test starting December 17.
