Mumbai Indians surprised everyone whey they bought Glenn Maxwell for a whopping $1 Million in the 2013 IPL auctions. But he was not given a chance in the star studded line up. When given a chance in the Champions League T20 finals, he proved why Mumbai spent loads of money on the Australian “Big Show”. Since then he has been on a swashbuckling form thrashing the opposition bowlers all over the park time and time again.
He had a dashing season in the Big Bash League with his side Melbourne Stars and a successful series for the Australian side against a depleted English side. In the course of the past few months, Maxwell also improved his bowling which makes him one of the X-Factors for the 2014 IPL. It will be a treat to watch all the IPL sides bidding for Maxwell.
