Glenn Maxwell memes rule Twitter after Punjab all-rounder fails again vs Hyderabad

The Hyderabad and Punjab clash at the Dubai International Stadium was vital for both the sides as they were in search of winning points to get going on the points table. Riding on Jonny Bairstow and David Warner's brilliance, the Hyderabad team posted a target of 202 for KL Rahul's side.  Despite having explosive batsmen in their unit, the team lost the encounter by 69 runs as they were bundled out for a paltry 132 runs.

The Punjab side had great expectations from Glenn Maxwell for the Dream11 IPL 2020 as they roped him yet again in their squad. Nothing seems to be clicking for the Australian as he has visibly struggled to get going in the league and is yet to make a significant impact.
