Royal Challengers Bengaluru retained just three players ahead of IPL mega auction, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal. The likes of Mohammed Siraj, skipper Faf Du Plessis and many others players were released by the franchise ahead of the mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Australia's Glenn Maxwell one of the big names gets released by RCB and it was a big decision taken by management and team owners. Maxwell expressed his views on being released by the franchisee.

While talking to Espncricinfo, Maxwell said: 'They were obviously changing a few of their staff as well. So they needed to get that sorted before they started talking to players. And I understood that process was going to take a bit of time. And, but yeah, you're always sort of getting a little bit edgy around that, that last date about whether you're gonna be retained and not so sure what's gonna happen'.

Glenn Maxwell's IPL Journey

Glenn Maxwell started his IPL journey with Mumbai Indians in 2013, however he didn't played a single match, later in 2014 he debuted for Punjab Kings (Formerly Kings XI Punjab) after purchasing him in auction, also he had a great time with the franchise. But later in 2020 after spending 6 prolonged years they released him and Royal Challengers Bengaluru purchased him in 2021 auction with a whopping amount of 14.25 crore but he showed no sign of improvement after retaining him in 2022, 2023 yet management believed him four years but in the end they were refused to release him.

Glenn Maxwell is a prominent figure in the cricket world, known for his crucial contributions to Australia's victories in key matches, including five T20I centuries. However, his IPL journey has not been successful. Despite his reputation, Maxwell had a forgettable season last year, managed to score only 52 runs throughout the entire tournament.
