Maxwell’s run drought continues

T20 World Cup 2022 is knocking on the door. This season is going to start from October 16 in Australia. For the hosts, the added advantage is expected, but the challenge is also big. The current champions have a chance to take home the World Cup again. But before that, Glenn Maxwell’s form is raising concerns.

Maxwell is one of the most important members of the Aussie team. This batsman, who is devastating with the bat, can win matches as well as bring important breakthroughs with the ball. But before the World Cup, clouds have gathered in Maxwell’s bat. In the last 5 matches, he could not go to double-digit.

The statistics of the last 5 matches says that Maxwell played an innings of 16 runs against them on June 11, 2022 in Pallekele, Sri Lanka. After that, he scored a total of 7 (1, 0, 6) runs in the three-match T20 series against India. However, all the matches of this series have been played on Indian soil.

Meanwhile, the West Indies team is currently on a tour of Australia to play a three-match T20I series. Where the hosts won the first T20. But Maxwell’s bat did not laugh at that. He returned to the dressing room before opening the account of personal runs. And with that, anxiety in the Aussie camp is also increasing day by day.

However, many cricket analysts feel that Maxwell needs a big innings to return to form. Who does not know that form is temporary, class is permanent. So it won’t be surprising if Maxwell created storm with the bat in the World Cup.
