#2 Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell is one of the cleanest hitters of the ball in world cricket

Glenn Maxwell is a quintessential T20 player. He combines brute power and innovation to play big shots and has the ability to change the course of a match in the span of few overs. Additionally, he can roll his arm to sneak in a couple of overs and his fielding skills are of the best standards.

Maxwell is the vital ingredient of Punjab’s all-out aggression batting philosophy and his high impact batting makes him an indispensable member of any batting unit. One of the qualities that separate him from the other finishers is the ease with which he plays spin as well as pace.

As he manufactures immense power in his shots, he doesn’t get baffled if the surface lacks pace and at the same time his quick hand-eye coordination allows him to neutralise the threat of express pace.

Maxwell has hit the most number of sixes for Punjab and has also captained the team for the 2017 season – something he has been complimented for. Although his effectiveness of his captaincy skills can be argued, he can break into any T20 team in the world based on his batting skills.
