IPL 2021: Twitter goes mad as RCB buys Glenn Maxwell for whopping 14.25 crore

The players’ auction of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 is currently under progress in Chennai, and Australian superstar Glenn Maxwell has already triggered a bidding war among franchises.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) battled it out to take Maxwell in their team. The Aussie all-rounder had registered for INR 2 Cr base price and finally got sold to RCB for a whopping INR 14.25 Cr.

After a battle of the bids between CSK & RCB, Glenn Maxwell is SOLD to @RCBTweets for 14.25 Cr INR 😯🔥💥@Vivo_India #IPLAuction

Despite having his worst IPL campaign last year, the big-hitting Victorian has been picked by RCB because of his scintillating form in the recently-concluded Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21.

Interestingly, a few days before the special event, Maxwell has expressed his desire to join RCB. He had stated that featuring for RCB will help him fulfil his long-time wish to play alongside his idol and former South Africa cricketer AB de Villiers.

I really rate Glenn Maxwell as a T20 player. I'm not sure I rate him as much as CSK or RCB though… #IPLAuction
