Australia's attacking batsman Glenn Maxwell has been one of the highlighted players of the ODI series against India. The reason is Maxwell's poor form in IPL which didn't reflect in his knocks in the first and second ODI.

Maxwell scored 45 off 19 deliveries, followed by an unbeaten 29-ball 63 to make a difference in Australia's score in both the matches. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra feels India should play with Maxwell's ego to succeed.

“The IPL story is normally not the story of international cricket when it is about Glenn Maxwell. In the IPL he seems to be struggling but when he plays for Australia, he becomes max while in the IPL he is mini."

"The way Glenn Maxwell stands at the crease; he seems like a woodcutter. He is only looking to hit on the leg side and not concerned about the offside at all,” said Chopra in his YouTube video.

“His [Maxwell’s] problem is nose and toes. So, you should employ a fast bowler at the start and bowl him at his toes and then his nose or vice versa. You need to play with his ego because he is an egoistic player,” he added.

Aakash suggested that the bowlers should try to dismiss him instead of bowling length. “If you bowl a bouncer, he will go after it. If you bowl a yorker, he would remove his feet and play. And when you try all that, you can get him out. So, better you shouldn’t do length bowling, rather try to get him out, right from the outset,” said Chopra.

For spinners, Chopra thinks bowling wide would be a better option. “Spinners need to bowl wider and slower to Maxwell, making him hit over the covers. He will not be able to play the reverse sweep as well as he won’t get the strength on the shot,” the cricketer-turned-commentator said.
