Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was released by the KXIP franchise ahead of the mini auctions slated to take place next month. Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris has taken a dig at Maxwell and said anyone who is paying a huge sum for Maxwell in the auctions will be making a wrong call.
“The answer is if anybody pays anything close to that sort of 10-crore mark, they have got rocks in their head. It is that simple. We all know how good a player he is, and that is not the question. The talent is there, but the talent has outweighed the actual performances we have seen from Glenn Maxwell,” Scott Styris said on Star Sports Network.
Styris who has played IPL for CSK and Deccan Chargers said that the teams should pay only for his base price. “I think there will be someone who takes a chance on Maxwell, but it should only be something like base price. And you hope you strike lightning in a bottle and you get lucky and that he is in good form and he somehow manages to turn around what has been a pretty disappointing five or six years in the IPL,” Styris added.
Maxwell scored just 108 runs in 13 matches in the 2020 edition at an average of 15.42 while only managed to pick 3 wickets at an economy of 8.04.
