[Watch] Rashid Khan sends back Glenn Maxwell with brilliant googly during RCB vs GT match in IPL 2023
Gujarat Titans (GT) ace spinner Rashid Khan sent back Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell with a brilliant googly during their game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday, May 21.
The incident took place in the ninth over of RCBโs innings when Rashid bowled a well-disguised googly. Maxwell didnโt read the ball and it went through his defense, crashing onto the middle and leg stumps.
With the dismissal, Maxwell departed for just 11 runs off five balls, leaving RCB at 80/2 after 8.2 overs in a must-win game in the race to the playoffs.
The development came after the game's start was delayed due to a wet outfield.
