Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has brushed aside former Indian cricketer Virender Shewag’s unruly comment calling him a ’10 Crore’s Cheerleader’ who had come to the Indian Premier League on ‘paid vacation’. Maxwell said that he is aware of Sehwag’s dislike of him.
"It's ok. Viru is pretty outspoken with his dislike of me, and that's fine. He's allowed to say whatever he likes,” The West Australian quoted the 32-year-old as saying.
He further made downweighed the Multan’s Sultan’s comments saying he is in the media for making such comments only. "He's in the media for such statements, so that's fine. I deal with that and move on, and take it with a grain of salt with Sehwag.”
Maxwell didn’t actually have a great IPL as he was only able to make 113 runs in 11 innings and was unable to hit even a single six this entire season.
The Victorian played under KL Rahul’s captaincy and rates him very highly. Talking to cricket.com.au, he praised Rahul saying that he was 'gun’ during the IPL.
He's a great performer … got a great temperament, great head on his shoulders, and is extremely calm in pressure situations,” Maxwell said.
Since it’s hard to get Rahul out otherwise, Maxwell said that he and his team would like to get him run out. "We had a team meeting the other day and they came to me and asked how I thought we should get him out, and one of the things I said was to try and run him out. So I think that's what we're going to try and do,” he said.
