Maxwell On Kohli’s Terrible Fan Moment

While playing together for the franchise, he bonded well with Kohli. But Maxwell experienced a terrible fan moment with Virat Kohli while traveling with them. He shared how fans have gone wild to see a glimpse of the cricket legend.

“We had a training session where me and him went reasonably early to training, got all our stuff done. I think it was an optional session, so we batted together, batted for a while, finished up and said, 'Oh we can get a car back to the hotel.' We jumped in a car and immediately alarm bells were going off in my head that this is probably not a good idea. We had security in the front seat of the car and a car behind us full of police.” Maxwell said.


“As we were driving out of Chinnaswamy Stadium, people noticed that Virat is in the car and just started punching on the windows, like beating up his car. They were trying to get his attention and get him to look at them. I was surprised the car didn't have dents all over it. This was so uncomfortable. I was just looking at him and I was like, 'How do you deal with this on a day-to-day basis and he sort of shrugged off like it's what I go through. It's a scary way for him to live.” he added.

Maxwell’s New Stint with Punjab Kings

After spending four glorious years of his career with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Maxwell joined Punjab Kings. It's a homecoming for him. From 2014-2020, he was a big asset for the team.
