Kings XI Punjab batsman Glenn Maxwell has been in woeful structure in the continuous period of the Indian Premier League. The Australian substantial hitter has scored only 48 runs in six games for the establishment so far at a normal of 12. Maxwell's structure has become a subject of conversation, particularly with KXIP not playing Chris Gayle, and losing five matches this season up until now, four of which were successive.

In an ongoing visit on Cricbuzz, previous India opener Virender Sehwag scrutinized Maxwell and scrutinized the rationale behind establishments following him.

“Don’t know what sort of a platform Glenn Maxwell needs to explode. He came in early (against Sunrisers Hyderabad) after Punjab lost two batsmen quickly. A lot of overs were left this time, but he failed. Earlier, he didn’t have pressure (batting in the death overs in previous matches), yet he got out without performing,” Sehwag, who played for the franchise in 2014 and was later involved as part of its coaching staff, said.

“I can’t quite understand his mindset because it’s been the same story every year. He gets sold in the auction for a hefty price but the result remains the same. Yet, people (franchises) run after him. This is something I don’t understand. In the next auction, I think his price will drop from 10 crores to somewhere around Rs. 1-2 crores which is what it should be. It has to be kept in mind that he scored his last half-century in 2016.”
