Glenn Maxwell's form woes persisted in the IPL 2024 eliminator match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday, May 22.

After being invited to bat first, RCB faced early setbacks with the dismissals of skipper Faf du Plessis and star batter Virat Kohli. RR capitalized on this momentum and soon got rid of Glenn Maxwell.

The pivotal moment occurred in the 13th over when Ravichandran Ashwin struck, first removing Cameron Green and then dismissing Maxwell for a golden duck on the very next ball.

Watch - Glenn Maxwell departs for a golden duck

Ashwin, visibly pumped, delivered a flighted ball that pitched just outside the off stump. Maxwell, trying to make an impact in this crucial match, cleared his front leg early and attempted to loft the ball, but it went straight up in the air. 

Dhruv Jurel, positioned at long-on, ran half a dozen yards and secured the catch, ensuring Maxwell's brief stay at the crease ended without any runs.

At the time of writing, RCB is struggling at 139 for 5 in 17 overs, with wickets falling at regular intervals and the team battling to set a competitive total.
