NEW DELHI: Glenn Maxwell faced another setback in the IPL 2024 as he earned an unwanted record during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s seven-wicket defeat to Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
The Australian all-rounder was dismissed for a duck after facing just four balls, equalling the record for the most ducks in IPL history alongside Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma, with 17 ducks each.

Maxwell’s struggle for form in this year’s IPL reflects a stark contrast to his performance in the ODI World Cup late last year, where he played a pivotal role in Australia’s triumph on Indian soil.
In six innings this season, Maxwell has only managed to score 32 runs, with disappointing scores of 0, 3, 28, 0, 1, and 0.
Maxwell’s underwhelming performance is part of a broader struggle for Australian players at RCB.
Cameron Green, who was dropped for the match against Mumbai Indians, has also failed to make an impact since his move to the franchise.
