NEW DELHI :Punjab Kings all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will miss the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a finger injury, the franchise said on Thursday.
Punjab Kings' Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is "likely" out of the Indian Premier League's remaining matches after fracturing his finger. Maxwell suffered the injury before PBKS' rained out previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders in which he was dismissed for 7 continuing an underwhelming season. He was replaced by Suryansh Shedge in last night's clash against Chennai Super Kings that PBKS won by four wickets. "Unfortunately, Maxi's broken his finger. He broke it just before the last game at training. He didn't think it was too bad, but it ended up getting pretty bad. He had scans and yeah, the results weren't great. So unfortunately for Maxi, I think it's likely he's out for the tournament," Maxwell's compatriot and PBKS teammate Marcus Stoinis told 'Jiostar'.
Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to field against Chennai Super Kings in match 49 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Prabhsimran Singh and Glenn Maxwell make way for Harpreet Brar and Suryansh Shedge for Punjab Kings. Chennai Super Kings are playing with the same XI. After their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders got washed out, Punjab will be hoping to get a win in hopes of staying alive in the race for the top four.
Is MS Dhoni playing his last IPL? That is one question that is on everybody's mind. MS Dhoni, under whom Chennai Super Kings won five IPL titles, has answered the question (well, sort of). Ahead of the CSK's match against Punjab Kings in Chennai on Wednesday, there was huge fanfare when MS Dhoni was about to speak at the toss. That former New Zealand player Danny Morrison, commentating on the match, to ask Dhoni about his future.
Yuzvendra Chahal was trolled brutally by his Punjab Kings teammates after showing off the bat that he got from MS Dhoni ahead of their match against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025. Chahal, who made his ODI debut under Dhoni's captaincy, approached the CSK captain ahead of the match and was gifted one of his bats. Chahal showed off the bat to Glenn Maxwell in the PBKS dressing room who was quickly commented that he has no use for the bat as he is subbed out in every game for the Impact Player to come in. "What are you going to do with it? You get subbed out in every game". PBKS youngster Priyansh Arya also joined in on the trolling and said that some kid in Haryana will surely take it away from Chahal. "Some kid in Haryana is going to take this bat for sure," joked Priyansh.
Former Indian cricket team batter Manoj Tiwary said that he believes Punjab Kings will not win the IPL 2025 title and even levelled a major allegation against head coach Ricky Ponting. During the IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight Riders, PBKS decided to send Glenn Maxwell at No. 4 and Marco Jansen at No. 5 after a brilliant start courtesy Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh. That meant that Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh were able to get any balls due to the change in batting order. Tiwary said that Ponting chose the foreign batters or Indian talents and the plan did not work out for them. He added that if he continues to show lack of confidence in Indian players, PBKS will not win the title this year.
Punjab Kings all-rounder Glenn Maxwell's abysmal form continued in the IPL 2025 as he was dismissed for just 7 against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday. Maxwell, who was bought in the mega auction for Rs 4.2 crore, returned to the playing XI after two matches but he was dismissed cheaply by KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy. Before this match, Maxwell scored just 41 runs in the competition leading to a lot of criticism from both fans as well as experts. On Saturday, Maxwell made a tentative start to his innings and although he did slam a boundary, the Australian international was clean bowled on the very next boundary. Former India batter Suresh Raina was not happy and delivered a brutal verdict on the struggling star.
Former Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag took a brutal dig at Glenn Maxwell and Liam Livingstone over their dismal runs in the ongoing IPL 2025. Both cricketers have failed to impress in the ongoing competition and they were both dropped by their respective sides on Sunday. While Royal Challengers Bengaluru included Romario Shepherd in place of Livingstone, Maxwell has not featured for Punjab Kings in the last couple of matches. Sehwag said that both cricketers have no 'visible desire to fight for their teams' and even said that they look like the IPL is like a holiday for them.
