Glenn Maxwell was flop for Kings XI Punjab in the entire IPL 2020 tournament.
Former India batsman Virender Sehwag took another dig at Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell's IPL performance. Maxwell scored a half-century and also picked up a crucial wicket of KL Rahul for a duck in the last T20I.
The Aussie, who plays for Kings XI Punjab, had a terrible outing in IPL 2020 with the bat. He failed to hit a single six in the entire tournament but performed really well for Australia in the ODIs and T20Is.
“His attitude changes when he plays for Australia. When he goes to Australia, he knows that if he has two or three bad innings, he will be left out of the Australian team and it will be difficult to make a comeback,” Sehwag said about Maxwell on the Sony Sports Network.

Maxwell was terrific with the bat in the three-match ODI series against India. He smashed a 19-ball 45, 29-ball 63*, and 59 in the three ODI matches.
Sehwag feels the Australia batsman doesn't take IPL seriously.
“He (Maxwell) doesn’t take pressure at all (In IPL). He is there only for enjoyment. He will do everything in the match – encourage players, roam around, dance – other than scoring runs. As soon as the match is over, if he is getting free drinks, he will take that to his room or go to the room and have a lot of drinks,” Sehwag said.
“So, I never felt that he is that serious about the game. When he comes to the IPL, he is more serious about his golf than cricket. Because if you are that serious, the performance shows.”
