“I’m 5 feet 3 inches”: Former Indian star left embarrassed after calling Glenn Maxwell “over-rated”

By | Published | No Comments

Royal Challengers Bangalore achieved the target of 148 runs in just 13.4 overs against Gujarat Titans in Bengaluru on Saturday. While the number of overs left might lead one to believe that RCB had it easy, that was not the case. RCB lost six wickets and if Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh had not taken some aggressive action, things would have become difficult for RCB. The chase started on a tough note for RCB as soon as they entered the powerplay.

Just when it seemed that RCB would reach the target, they started losing wickets. From 92/0 in 5.4 overs, RCB was reduced to 111/6 in 10.4 overs. Faf du Plessis (64) and Virat Kohli (42) were the only good performers as stars like Will Jacques (1), Rajat Patidar (2), Glenn Maxwell (1), Cameron Green (1) were on the cards. Kind of collapsed.

This prompted former Indian cricket team wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel to call Glenn Maxwell overrated. “Glenn Maxwell…he is the most overrated player in the history of IPL…#IPL2024…” he wrote on Twitter.

For that comment, he was mercilessly trolled and even shamed.

Talking about the match, Royal Challengers Bangalore hit the self-destruct button midway but rode on a blistering half-century from captain Faf du Plessis to seal a four-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in their IPL match on Saturday. There was enough torque.

Du Plessis (64, 23b, 10×4, 3×6) and Kohli (42, 27b, 2×4, 4×6), who added 92 runs in just 35 balls for the opening wicket, led the Royal Challengers to a stellar performance to chase down a paltry target of 148. Crossed. , experiencing some nerve-wracking moments, most of which are of his own creation.

The win lifted RCB to seventh on the table with eight points from 11 matches and kept their mathematical chances of reaching the playoffs alive.
