Mohammad Kaif throws light on Glenn Maxwell's performances in IPL & Australian team

Mohammad Kaif revealed why Glenn Maxwell does t perform well as he does consistently for Australia in international cricket. 2015 World Cup winner who was roped in by Punjab for Dream11 IPL 2020 for a whopping Rs.10 Crores did t provide much stability in middle-order as he could only man 108 runs in 13 matches and on top of that, he failed to hit even a single six in competition.

While 'Big Show' failed to make his bat do talking, he could t make amends with ball in hand as well. With his right-arm off-spin, cricketer nabbed only three wickets at an expensive aver of 56.33.

'Probably he feels...': Mohammad Kaif

“It is absolutely amazing. Everyone has hope that he will fire in IPL, that he will do well this year. You make him open, play him at .3 or .4, he gets an opportunity at every position. Probably he feels more pressure in IPL because only four foreign players can play and seven Indians. So, competition between foreign players is high,” said Kaif while speaking on Sony Sports Network.

“But once he comes back home, it has just been two-three weeks since IPL in UAE, re is such a huge difference. He is able to play reverse sweeps, switch hits, and is able to hit shots in whichever angle he wants. So, it is t a problem with player’s skills but probably a problem with mindset in IPL,”, former Indian middle-order batsman added.
