Hyderabad: Glenn Maxwell was over the moon after fetching another hefty price tag at the IPL players’ auctions. The Australian all-rounder, who was released by KL Rahul-led Kings XI Punjab, now called Punjab Kings. The Australian was open in sharing his thoughts of playing at the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore and the cricketer got his wish when he was bought for Rs 14.25 cr.

He took to his social media account and said, “I am super excited to be part of the RCB team this year. Certainly looking forward to playing under Virat, playing with AB de Villiers as well and a couple of my friends – Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson and my old friend Yuzvendra Chahal. Haven’t played together since days back in Mumbai.”
