Glenn Maxwell's IPL torment is over after the out-of-sorts Australian star's wretched season - and the campaign of his Royal Challengers Bengaluru outfit - was finally extinguished with a golden duck and a playoff exit.
His Aussie teammate and fellow allrounder Cameron Green produced a fine effort with the ball in Ahmedabad on Wednesday (Thursday AEST), but Maxwell's woes with the willow endured to the bitter end as RCB lost their clash with Rajasthan Royals by four wickets to bow out of the tournament.
Maxwell had lost his way so badly midway through the league program that he took a break for his mental and physical wellbeing, but despite one fine piece of bowling that helped RCB beat Chennai and book their playoffs place, his batting mojo has simply fled.
