Ajit Agarkar reckons that Maxwell might fetch a bid of INR 10 Crores in IPL 2021 Auctions

Former Indian cricketer Ajit Agarkar feels that Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell might be roped in by any franchise for a sum of INR 10 Crores in upcoming IPL 2021 Auctions. 

2015 World Cup winner who was roped in by Punjab for a whopping INR 10.75 Crore in Dream11 IPL 2020 failed to make an impact with his cricketing skills. More importantly, Aussie power-hitter failed to hit even a single six in competition. 

Maxwell was one of players who was released by 2014 IPL finalists last week.

'Seems to be case': Ajit Agarkar

“Who kws? Someone else might buy him for 10 crores. It seems to be case with Glenn Maxwell. You can understand that kind of ability but I think a lot of things will be wiser w. A little bit surprised with some of or overseas names y have let go, Jimmy Neesham perhaps didn’t have greatest tournament,” said Agarkar while interacting on Star Sports show ‘Cricket Connected’.

Apart from Glenn Maxwell, Punjab franchise also decided to part ways with a few of ir overseas recruits including likes of New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham, West Indies frontline pacer Sheldon Cottrell and, Afghan mystery spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman.
