Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell came up with an epic reply to skipper Faf du Plessis’ hilarious comment on RCB’s Instagram post on Wednesday, May 17.

The Bangalore-based franchise shared a picture where Du Plessis could be seen watching Mohammed Siraj’s shadow batting practice during a net session. The Proteas batter came up with a hilarious comment in response that read:

“Learning from the master Mia magic.”

For the uninitiated, Faf du Plessis is currently the leading run-scorer in IPL 2023. He has amassed 631 runs in 12 games so far at a strike rate of 154.27, including seven half-centuries.

Maxwell, on the other hand, has scored 384 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 182.85, including five half-centuries. The part-time spinner has also scalped three wickets so far this season.

The duo recently scored half-centuries in the match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), which Bangalore won by 112 runs.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj has scalped 16 wickets in 12 games at an economy rate of 7.79, including a four-wicket haul against Punjab Kings (PBKS).

The trio will be critical to Bangalore’s success as Bangalore aim to win their remaining group-stage games.
