Win Projections to be updated soon
Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell returned to international cricket in the white-ball series against India after breaking his leg shortly after the T20 World Cup. The 34-year-old, though, experienced difficulty during the ODI series and was unable to play in the third and final game.
As a result, his participation in the 16th iteration of the Indian Premier League was also uncertain. Glenn Maxwell was reportedly going to miss Royal Challengers Bangalore’s opening couple of games; however, batting coach Sanjay Bangar clarified the situation and said Glenn Maxwell was well before the Mumbai game.
Particularly, the all-rounder crushed 78 off 46 deliveries in the intra-squad game, showing off his incredible form. His performance will therefore increase RCB’s prospects against Mumbai as the squad seeks to begin the campaign with a victory.
In order to accomplish this, Glenn Maxwell will play a significant role as several of their top-choice overseas players are currently unavailable.
Bangar provides an update on Josh Hazlewood and Rajat Patidar.
The batting coach stated that Rajat Patidar’s future will be decided by the National Cricket Academy (NCA), as the management is still awaiting responses from NCA and there hasn’t been any new information released.
“As far as Rajat is concerned, he is currently out of our control; at the NCA, he is sort of receiving treatment there, and we are still awaiting his explanations. Our media staff will keep you updated as soon as we have more information. It’s also possible that the NCA will make a very sporting decision regarding what he does or what his future holds, the 50-year-old was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
Reece Topley is their backup pitcher for Josh Hazlewood, and they anticipate him to do well in the upcoming season, according to Bangar.
“We kind of expected it, and the auction or pre-auction meeting took that into account. Reece Topley provides a like-for-like substitute for Josh, and after accounting for that, that gives us something of a cover. We are glad to get his services. He continued, “I’m sure Hazlewood’s left-arm bowling option will enhance the bowling group.
