IPL 2024: RCB's Glenn Maxwell injured, might miss match vs SRH - Reports

Glenn Maxwell has scored 32 runs in six matches so far in the IPL 2024.

It’s not going well at the moment for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 edition, as their star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell might miss the upcoming clash against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 15.

The Faf du Plessis-led RCB suffered a crushing defeat by seven wickets against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last IPL 2024 match at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on April 11. 

Glenn Maxwell was expected to play a main role in Bengaluru’s batting line-up. However, the Australian southpaw didn’t live up to his expectations as he has failed to register a single fifty in the ongoing 17th edition of the IPL.

What happened to Glenn Maxwell?

According to a latest report in News24, the star all-rounder Maxwell suffered a thumb injury while he was fielding during the match against Mumbai, and hence he might miss the next match against Hyderabad. 

Mumbai batter Suryakumar Yadav, who slammed a quick-fire fifty, smashed a ball of RCB pacer Akash Deep. The ball hit Glenn’s hand, which hurt the Australian. Soon after this, the all-rounder went off the field. It is to be noted that the Bengaluru-based franchise hasn’t officially provided update on Maxwell’s injury.

How Glenn Maxwell has performed in IPL 2024 so far?

In the ongoing IPL 2024, Maxwell is having a tough time with the bat. He has just registered 32 runs in six matches so far. Also, during the match against Mumbai, Maxwell registered his third duck of the ongoing IPL 2024. His poor performances have dented Bengaluru as they are currently standing in ninth position with just one win to their name in the IPL 2024 standings.
