Poor IPL run won’t affect my performance against India, says Maxwell

New Delhi, Nov 20 : Dashing Australia batsman Glenn Maxwell has insisted that his performance in the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he was unable to make a mark for Kings XI Punjab, won’t have any effect on his performance during the upcoming limited-overs series against India.
In 13 innings, Maxwell scored just 108 runs, at an average of 15.42, with a strike-rate of just 101.88 for Kings XI who failed to make it to the play-offs.
“No, it’s not going to affect my performances in the upcoming series,” Maxwell said during a select media interaction organised by series official broadcasters Sony.
He asserted that he will play wherever his team needs him to bat during the series.
“I suppose I can contribute wherever I can with the ball and try to hold up one end. With the bat, as it was against England, I will be trying to finish off games and do as well as I can down the order.” The 32-year-old, who has now been away from home since August when Australia toured England, also spoke about the difference between staying in a bio-bubble and quarantine and also how players can keep themselves mentally fit.
