File photo of Glenn Maxwell (L) and Preity Zinta© BCCI Actor Preity Zinta on Tuesday schooled a netizen for asking her a distasteful question during an interaction session on social media platform X. The user asked in jest if the reason behind cricketer Glenn Maxwell‘s poor performance in the ongoing IPL 2025 during his return season for Punjab Kings (PBKS) was because of the fact that “he and the actress did not marry. The query did not go down well with Zinta as in response she urged the netizen to “give her respect and stop with the gender bias”. “Mam Maxwell ki aapse shadi ni Hui isiliye vo aapko team se accha ni khelta tha?” the user posted. Giving a befitting response to the user, Zinta on X wrote, “Will you ask this question to the male team owners of all teams, or is this discrimination just towards the women? I never knew how difficult it is for women to survive in corporate setups until I got into cricket”. Will you ask …

On Wednesday, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer revealed they haven’t yet decided on Ferguson and Maxwell’s replacements. “To be honest, we haven’t decided about the replacements yet so far but we are pretty strong in our team’s mindset and what we have outside of our playing XI. We’ve got varieties of players who can win you matches. So we’re going to stick to that as much as possible,” Iyer said, during the toss for PBKS’s match against CSK. However, Ponting confirmed after the match against CSK that “we will be signing some replacements at some stage.” …

File photo of Glenn Maxwell© BCCI Punjab Kings’ Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is “likely” out of the Indian Premier League’s remaining matches after fracturing his finger. Maxwell suffered the injury before PBKS’ rained out previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders in which he was dismissed for 7 continuing an underwhelming season. He was replaced by Suryansh Shedge in last night’s clash against Chennai Super Kings that PBKS won by four wickets. “Unfortunately, Maxi’s broken his finger. He broke it just before the last game at training. He didn’t think it was too bad, but it ended up getting pretty bad. He had scans and yeah, the results weren’t great. So unfortunately for Maxi, I think it’s likely he’s out for the tournament,” Maxwell’s compatriot and PBKS teammate Marcus Stoinis told ‘Jiostar’. Punjab head coach Ricky Ponting said the side is currently trying to figure a suitable replacement which may not be easy to find. “We will be signing some replacements at some stage,” Ponting said in the post-match press conference when asked about …

Glenn Maxwell against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025© BCCI Punjab Kings all-rounder Glenn Maxwell‘s abysmal form continued in the IPL 2025 as he was dismissed for just 7 against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday.

“You Need To Wake Up”: Rs 4.2 Crore Punjab Kings Star Glenn Maxwell Sent Brutal Warning

Punjab Kings in action during IPL 2025© BCCI It has been a disappointing IPL 2025 campaign for Punjab Kings all-rounder Glenn Maxwell till now. Maxwell, who was bought by the franchise for Rs 4.2 crore in the mega auction, has cored just 41 runs in six matches at an average of 8.20. He has been slightly better with the ball as he has taken 4 wickets. However, senior Indian cricket team batter Cheteshwar Pujara was not happy with his performances and in a recent interaction, he urged Maxwell to work on his approach. Pujara said that Maxwell needs to ‘wake up’ and if this was any other player, they would have been dropped from the team by now.  “The way he bats hasn’t changed much,” Pujara said. “He hasn’t changed the way he has approached the IPL. There have been times where he’s been a little casual. He’s the same what he was maybe eight-ten years ago. I’m a little critical, but there are times where as a player you need to wake …

IPL 2025: RCB Batters Look To Rise Above PBKS’ Spin Challenge Led By Yuzvendra Chahal

IPL 2025: RCB Batters Look To Rise Above PBKS’ Spin Challenge Led By Yuzvendra Chahal

Published by Webster

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s push for a maiden home victory this season will depend on their batters taming the canny Yuzvendra Chahal in the IPL match against a supremely confident Punjab Kings in Bengaluru on Friday. Chahal, in the company of off-spinner Glenn Maxwell, will have noticed Bengaluru batters’ struggle against slow bowlers R Sai Kishore (2/22, Gujarat Titans), Kuldeep Yadav (2/17) and Vipraj Nigam (2/18, both Delhi Capitals) here, especially once the field was spread out. Besides, both Chahal and Maxwell will also be armed with their familiarity with the conditions here, courtesy the years spent at the Royal Challengers’ dug out. Theoretically, RCB camp can take a slight consolation from the fact that they batted first against GT and DC and their spinners took full advantage of a no-dew atmosphere. But Chahal, who returned to form with a four-wicket haul against Kolkata Knight Riders, and Maxwell, assuming that dull form with the bat will not hinder his inclusion in the eleven on Friday, operate aside from the conditions. Chahal is a master …
