'Is There No Accountability?': Aakash Chopra's Scathing Attack On Glenn Maxwell

Former India cricketer, Aakash Chopra has criticised Glenn Maxwell's poor shot selection during the Eliminator match against the Rajasthan Royals.

Maxwell, has had a torrid time in IPL 2024, only mustering 52 runs in 10 innings, at an average of just 5.78. His poor run continued last night, when R Ashwin played with his ego and knocked him over for a golden duck.

The Australian all-rounder's form drew criticism from Chopra, who slammed Maxwell and even blamed him for RCB's exit in the IPL 2024 season.


Here's what Chopra stated

"Glenn Maxwell - what do you do Sir? Honestly speaking, I think he doesn't even have 70-80 runs in nine matches. 28 is probably his highest score and he has a strike rate of 120. Firstly, the shot he played - how, why, a player had just gotten out and you also slogged and got out. Is there no accountability?" he said on his YouTube channel.

Maxwell was a massive under-performer throughout the season, and Chopra stated that RCB have paid 10 crores for him, and in return they expect something better from an experienced player like him.

"The team might also be thinking that he is such a big player and they give him 10 crore rupees, so they expect you to show a little cricketing smarts and play for them just like he plays for Australia. Sometimes you feel whether he cares or not. Does he actually feel for the side that strongly? I am sure he does but the way he plays poses a question for sure. He also dropped a straightforward catch," Chopra added.

RCB posted 172/8, batting first, and the target was eventually achieved by the Royals, who reached the final hurdle with an over to spare. Chopra also mentioned that RCB lacked the cutting-edge with the ball, and RR bowlers outclassed them completely.
