Glenn Maxwell has 36 runs in 8 matches in IPL 2024 for RCB.
Chasing 147 runs to win, RCB had a terrific start thanks to captain Faf du Plessis (64) and Virat Kohli (42) adding 92 runs for the first wicket in powerplay. But then, RCB lost quick wickets to be reduced to 111/6 in 10.4 overs.
Stars like Will Jacks (1), Rajat Patidar (2), Glenn Maxwell (1), and Cameron Green (1) fell like a pack of cards. However, RCB managed to win the match thanks to some rearguard action by Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh.
The failure of Glenn Maxwell, especially in IPL 2024, led to Parthiv Patel calling him the most overrated player in the history of the IPL. Maxwell has scored 36 runs in 8 matches this season with a best of 28. He had even taken a mental health break during the season and missed two matches.
"Glenn Maxwell....HE IS THE MOST OVERRATED player in the history of ipl...#IPL2024 ...."- Parthiv wrote on X.
However, this comment of his didn’t sit well with die-hard RCB fans and Parthiv Patel was height-shamed and trolled on social media.
Here are some of the posts fans on social media made in support of Maxwell:
But Parthiv gave the trolls their own medicine by taking the jibes on his chin. He also quoted and liked some posts on X which supported him.
