Star Australia allrounder Glenn Maxwell has been phenomenal throughout the ongoing calendar year. In the recently concluded ODI World Cup, he hammered a magnificent double hundred against Afghanistan and pulled off an impressive victory. However, this all started with the Indian Premier League 2023.

In IPL 2023, Glenn Maxwell represented Royal Challengers Bangalore. In 14 matches, he scored 400 runs at an average of 33.33 and a strike rate of 183.49. His amazing batting performance includes a 36-ball, 76-run knock against the Chennai Super Kings at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Apart from batting, he also shone with the ball as he took three wickets in seven innings.

However, his love for IPL is not hidden from anyone, and the South Paw once again expressed it. In a recent interview, Maxwell said the IPL would be the last tournament he will ever play in his career. "The IPL will probably be the last tournament I ever play, as I will play the IPL until I can't walk anymore," Maxwell said at Melbourne Airport on Wednesday.

"It is just the greatest learning experience," says Glenn Maxwell

Further explaining his experience in the Indian Premier League, Maxwell said that the IPL has helped him grow as a player. He said, "I was talking about how good the IPL has been to me throughout my career—the people I've met, the coaches I have played under, the international players that you get to rub shoulders with—and how beneficial to my whole career that tournament has been."

"You've been rubbing shoulders with AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli for two months, talking to them while watching other games. It's just the greatest learning experience that any player could ask for. Hopefully, a lot of our Australian players can get over to the IPL and get to work in slightly similar conditions to the West Indies, where it is a little bit drier, it will spin,” he further added. It's worth noting that Maxwell will return to action while playing against Pakistan in the coming days.
