Maxwell guilty of RCB's defeat: Bengaluru added to him for 11 crores, scored only 35 runs in the last 3 matches

In the match played between Bangalore and Rajasthan on Monday, RCB lost by 29 runs. Rajasthan had given a target of 144 runs to Bengaluru, in response to which Bengaluru scored only 115 runs. Once again Glenn Maxwell's bat did not work for RCB. He was dismissed on the very first ball of Kuldeep Sen without opening an account. Maxwell remained the biggest culprit of RCB's defeat.

Only 35 runs were scored in the last three matches

Maxwell has been flopping in the last three matches, not just against Rajasthan. Whenever the team needs him. No runs come off his bat. In the match against Lucknow, Maxwell scored 23, against Hyderabad 12, and Rajasthan even though this player's account did not open.

RCB did it for 11 crores

Maxwell's last season was amazing. He played 15 matches for RCB and scored 513 runs with his bat at an impressive average of 42.75. His strike rate was 144.10. Seeing his great performance, the team retained him for 11 crores.

It looked like he would be made the captain of the team, but Maxwell was not able to join the team in the first few matches due to his marriage. In such a situation, this responsibility was given to Faf du Plessis.

RCB's top batsmen are continuously flopping

The biggest reason for Bengaluru's continuous defeat is the flop of their team's top order. Virat Kohli, Anuj Rawat, and Glenn Maxwell's bats are not getting runs. In such a situation, pressure comes on batsmen like Dinesh Karthik, and Shahbaz Ahmed. In the match against Rajasthan, Anuj Rawat was also dropped from the team, but to no avail.

So far in this season, it has been seen that if Karthik and Shahbaz bat, then RCB gets victory, otherwise defeat is certain. It was Bengaluru's fourth loss against RR in 9 matches. At the same time, the team has won 5 matches. Batting after losing the toss on Tuesday, Rajasthan scored 144 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

Riyan Parag played the highest unbeaten innings of 56 runs. Josh Hazlewood and Mohammad Siraj took 2-2 wickets for RCB, RCB could not chase even such a low score.
