Glenn Maxwell, the explosive Australian all-rounder, had a rollercoaster journey in the Indian Premier League (IPL), experiencing the highs of a player-of-the-tournament season with Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab) and the lows of intense behind-the-scenes conflicts. In his book The Showman, Maxwell recounts his IPL journey and sheds light on the complex relationship he shared with former teammate and mentor Virender Sehwag. Maxwell's story begins with a high point in 2014 when he joined Kings XI Punjab. The team topped the table, losing only three games and securing a place in the final after a dominant season, with Maxwell at his best, scoring 552 runs and hitting more sixes than any other player. However, a defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders in the final dashed Punjab's hopes for a title. Reflecting on this near-perfect season, Maxwell recalls, "We went down in the final over. As close to the perfect season as you get in the IPL, but no trophy."
