IPL 2021 Auction: Gambhir Says RCB Should Go For Maxwell

This year, the tournament will be organized in India, and the players selected will depend on the pitch conditions and the suitability of the players. In the month of April and May, the Indian summer season will be at the peak and the spinners can play a key role in the team setup. The Royal Challengers Bangalore have not tasted enough wins in the tournament since 2016, when they emerged as the runner-up. Virat Kohli must have thought a lot about the players to choose ahead of the auction.

RCB should pick Maxwell in IPL 2021 Auction : Gambhir

The former Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir is quite active in the Star Sports network with his view for the Indian team as well as for the IPL. He has the experience of winning two IPL trophies in 2012 and 2014 and thinks that Maxwell can reduce the pressure of Kohli and De Villiers.

“Probably, they (RCB) will look at someone like Glenn Maxwell because they need to take a lot of pressure out of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. You want someone like an X-factor, like Maxwell, and at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where it’s flat and small, so he can have that impact. So, probably, they (RCB) will look at someone like Maxwell,” Gambhir said on the Star Sports show ‘Cricket Connected – Auction Special’.
