Big Shock for RCB, Glenn Maxwell will miss IPL 2022

Even though a title win continues to elude Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the Bengaluru-based franchise is one of the most followed teams in the tournament. Big Shock for RCB, Glenn Maxwell will miss IPL 2022.

Meanwhile, the franchise made 3 picks on the IPL 2022 retention day and retained the services of former skipper Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Mohammed Siraj. Also, Kohli stepped down as RCB skipper after IPL 2021, hence, the franchise is searching a new captain for the 2022 season.

Speaking about the strategy at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, Mike Hesson, Director of Cricket Operations of RCB said, “We are very happy with the way our squad is shaped with the new inclusions around the retained talents. It is a really balanced team of overseas and domestic players.

We have managed to cover all our bases with multi-dimensional skill sets and that was the key to our strategy getting into the auctions. Majority of things went as per plan considering the auction dynamics, we managed to check off all the criteria that we had set out to achieve for the RCB team.
