Australia's hitter Glenn Maxwell loves to take on the spinners, but when he came to India back in 2017, it didn't pay off. Maxwell found it hard to tackle India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and got dismissed four times by him; three times in ODIs, and once in T20Is.

Chahal revealed what was the plan he and MS Dhoni formed against the Aussie batsman. He spoke about the face-off with Maxwell in interaction with Mayank Agarwal and Kuldeep Yadav on the BCCI website.

“I always tried to bowl outside the stumps to Glenn Maxwell. I also tried to keep mix-up my deliveries. I would mostly bowl to him outside the stumps, and sometimes I would bowl to him in the middle,” Chahal said.

Recalling the stumping in the third ODI at Holkar Stadium, Indore, Chahal added, “The plan between me and Mahi bhai was to bowl to him outside the stumps. I knew he was about to charge on my bowl, so I bowled this one even further outside the off stump.

“He (Maxwell) was lacking patience in this series. He was always trying to attack on my deliveries, and he would start hitting shots against me. So I spoke to Mahi bhai, what to do. So Mahi bhai said, ‘we will mix-up the deliveries. We will not show him that we are about to bowl to him outside off-stump so that it will create chances to get him out’."

Chahal has a record of troubling Maxwell. He has got his wicket thrice in IPL as well, apart from four times in ODIs, and twice in T20Is. “Maxwell kept getting out on my deliveries. I have also dismissed him a few times in the IPL,” he said.
