Former captain of Kings XI Punjab, Glenn Maxwell had lit up the 2014 edition of IPL with his fireworks. Playing his first season for the Mohali-based franchise, the right-handed batsman scored 552 runs in just 16 games and ended the season with an average of 34.50. The highlight of his IPL 2014 performance was his incredible strike rate of 187.75.

After George Bailey left the franchise, the officials appointed Maxwell as the skipper in 2017. He had a decent outing in that season as he aggregated 310 runs in 14 matches. Though he has not scored a single IPL fifty since 2016, Maxwell can play the role of a game-changer for Kings XI.

They already have the quartet of KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal and Karun Nair who can bat in the top 4. Maxwell can either play at the number five position or if Nicholas Pooran is in the playing XI, the Australian can even bat at number six.
