Here's what Maxwell said
“I got compared to Virat Kohli once, that was a serious compliment. It was completely unnecessary and definitely not even true but I had a couple of good knocks and got compared to Virat that was quite nice,”
Maxwell also suggested that the batter should get more runs for hitting balls out of the stadium when asked for one rule change.
