[Watch] Glenn Maxwell chops onto the stumps as Harpreet Brar dismisses him for 4th time in IPL during RCB vs PBKS clash
Harpreet Brar took the prized scalp of Glenn Maxwell during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 encounter between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday (March 25).
Maxwell chopped the ball onto the stumps, departing for just three runs off five balls to bring PBKS back into the game. The 35-year-old had earlier departed for a golden duck against Chennai Super KIngs (CSK) in the season opener.
The dismissal came during the 13th over of RCB’s run chase. Brar bowled a length ball on off stump and Maxwell tried to make room and help it towards point. The right-hander, though, got an under-edge and chopped it onto the stumps. It was the fourth time in 17 balls (conceded 18 runs) that Brar dismissed Maxwell in the cash-rich league.
