IPL Auction 2020: 3 teams that could target Glenn Maxwell this year

#1 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Will Glenn Maxwell don the red and black colors in the IPL once again?

Royal Challengers Bangalore have always done well in the auction room but the team has never executed its plans on the field. The Virat Kohli-led outfit has finished at the bottom position twice in the last three seasons thus, Mike Hesson and co. will be under immense pressure to deliver the goods this year.

Bangalore took a lot of bold decisions ahead of the auction as they kept only two overseas players in their squad. With the rise of Devdutt Padikkal in the domestic circuit, Royal Challengers may not want to spend much money on a foreign opening batsman but their middle order looks very weak without Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Akshdeep Nath and Colin de Grandhomme.

The team management would not mind investing their funds in an explosive overseas middle-order batsman and the best candidate for that role is Glenn Maxwell. Given that the track at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is tailor made for him and he has even scored a T20 hundred at the venue, Royal Challengers should break the bank to sign him in the auction.

They can send him to bat at number six and there he could form a destructive partnership with AB de Villiers or Moeen Ali.
