Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell said he felt like a home at the franchise since day one of being here in India for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2021), saying the RCB coaching staff and players have been extremely supportive.

Before joining the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for IPL 2021, Maxwell had a torrid time with the bat in the last few IPL seasons, but at the moment, the right-hander is the second-highest run-getter in the ongoing season with 176 runs in three matches for RCB at an average of 58.

Maxwell said in a video posted by RCB on Twitter: “The conditions are a bit different here at the Wankhede. There have been some high scores scored here, so for our batting group, it is going to be exciting if we can get going and continue to add to those high totals.”

The Aussie further added, “I felt like I have been right at home since day one, the coaching staff have been extremely supportive so have the players, it has been great fun so far.”

Maxwell is in great form with the bat and he would like to continue his form to ease the responsibilities of his skipper Virat Kohli’s shoulders in the ongoing tournament.

The all-rounder signed off by saying, “It is just about taking one of the responsibilities of Virat's shoulders. He has got a lot of things to do out there, to sort of control what fielders need to be at what positions is one thing he does not have to worry about.”

RCB has won all three games in the ongoing IPL 14 and is currently at second place on the IPL points table with 6 points and will next take on Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium on April 22.
