NEW DELHI: Glenn Maxwell's performance proved to be the biggest disappointment for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2024 Eliminator clash against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday. The star player, often hailed as the 'Big Show' for his explosive batting prowess, was dismissed for a golden duck, matching Dinesh Karthik's dubious record of 18 ducks in the Indian Premier League.
The critical over by veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin turned the game on its head. After removing the in-form Cameron Green for 27 off 21 balls, Ashwin outsmarted Maxwell with a deceptive delivery, resulting in Maxwell's golden duck. This key moment significantly contributed to RCB's downfall, leading to their eventual exit from the tournament.
