Maxwell is the RCB’s leading run-scorer this season. However, he couldn’t perform well on Monday against KKR. The veteran was dismissed by Player of the Match Sunil Narine after scoring 15 at under a run-a-ball and couldn’t get a wicket in the three overs he bowled.

Glenn Maxwell was shocked by the reaction of trolls and he termed it ”absolutely disgusting”. Maxwell expressed gratitude to the more respectful fans, who stayed beside the team through the tough time. He further thanked his ‘REAL fans’ who appreciated the players for their efforts and showed them love.
