"He's Got Respect Of Everyone": Glenn Maxwell On New RCB Captain Faf Du Plessis

With the new Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season having recently begun, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have been having a topsy-turvy campaign this year. The franchise saw Virat Kohli step down from captaincy after IPL 2021 and Faf du Plessis was appointed as skipper ahead of IPL 2022. The veteran batter won the trophy last year with CSK and was purchased by RCB for Rs 7 crore during the mega auction. Speaking exclusively on RCB Bold Diaries, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell revealed that South African cricketer has the respect of everyone within the outfit. "I've had a few messages before the tournament. I think I was probably more focussed on my wedding sort of before that. Knowing obviously that he was going to be the captain, I was in touch with the coaches right throughout the auction, and that process as well. (I) still wanted to be heavily involved in moulding our team going forward", he said.
