Australia player Glenn Maxwell has so far failed to impress with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). However, he recently shared his views on it where he said that in the IPL, there were frequent changes in his role over the eight seasons but for his national team, his role is very clear to him.


The big-hitter joined Kings XI Punjab after having a successful tour of England, where he smashed a 90-ball 108 while batting at number seven and helped his side registered a scintillating win alongside Alex Carey.

"I probably would not (compare IPL and Australia career). The way I have played international cricket, it has been more of a clearer role. I know exactly how the guys will bat around me," he said.
He took a break from the game last year due to mental health issues. Ever since he returned to the action, he has been in a formidable for Australia. However, the scene is different in IPL 2020 where he has scored 58 runs at 14.50 in seven games so far. Notably, he was bought by KXIP with a whopping Rs 10.75 crore at the auction.


"My role in IPL changes probably for most games. In IPL, a lot of teams change their sides a lot. In the Australian set-up we have the same eleven for most of the games, we all know our roles really well," said Maxwell.


"We feel we are getting closer to that (team balance). I have had different experiences (in the IPL) where I have not quite performed to the level people expect but there has been no lack of trying, (or) putting the effort in training," he again shared.


While his 552 runs in the 2014 edition helped KXIP reach their only final appearance so far, he enjoyed the most in the 2017 edition of the league when he was skipper where he bowled a lot more and won man of the match several times as well. He scored 310 runs at a strike-rate of 173 and took seven wickets at an impressive economy rate of 6.57 in 2017.


Meanwhile, with six defeats in seven games, Punjab are at the end of the points table and every game is a must-win for them if they want to keep their hope of qualifying for the playoffs alive.
