Was fortunate to have Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers in the same team: Glenn Maxwell

Australia’s Glenn Maxwell had a good run during the recently concluded Indian Premier League where he was a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Maxwell scored a total of 513 runs in 15 matches for RCB and also notched up six half-centuries during the course. 

The right-handed batsman has credited the cash-rich league for getting the exposure to learn from the best in the business. "Every day was a learning experience, every day I was finding something new out. I was being a sponge to Virat and AB, just watching the way they go about things," Maxwell said.

Maxwell further said that he was “fortunate” to share the dugout with the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. 

"I was extremely fortunate to have two of the greats of the game in the same team and in the same batting line up and who were open to sharing their experiences and talk to me about their game. It makes you feel 10-feet tall when you've got your backing and they're watching you or asking you questions,” he added. 

Maxwell has now joined the Australian squad for the World T20 2021. The Aussie team which has never lifted the World T20 is slated to begin the tournament against South Africa on October 23 in Abu Dhabi.
