Down with hip strain, RCB Maxwell unlikely to play against KKR on Sunday

Friday, 19 April 2024 | PTI | Kolkata

On a “mental and physical break” to fight his poor form, Royal Challengers Bengaluru all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has revealed that he is also nursing a “hip strain” and is unlikely to return for his team’s away IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders here on Sunday.

The 35-year-old, who has managed just 32 runs in six innings with an average of 5.33, pulled out of their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad saying “physical and mental toll probably just wore me down a little bit.”

On ESPN’s ‘Around the Wicket’ show he also disclosed his hip injury.

“I’ve actually got a little bit of a hip strain so I’ve got a few more days off and during recovery,” he said.

“So I’ve got a little period here where I’m still training, still trying to get myself right. If there is a spot that becomes available, I’ll obviously put my hand up and take it.”

“It’s not one of those things where I’ve set a date that I’ll be out for three games then I’ll come back whenever I’m ready. That’s that’s not how it works. I haven’t been at a level that’s good enough to warrant a spot on the side this year.”
