Glenn Maxwell’s aggressive batting during the middle over and back-end will add dimension to his side and will also help “Big Show” play openly, it seems RCB director Mike Hewson. Maxwell, a perennial under-performer but someone who always raced in the mullahs in the IPL auctions, decided to be released by the Royal Challengers Bangalore by the Punjab Kings for Rs 14.25 crore.
Hesson said, “He (Maxwell) is fantastic and fits the middle order for us. We wanted to be a player of his quality during the middle overs and in the back end. A virtual media conference, showing that Maxwell was in the middle. – He is the player in the order, who was lacking in RCB last year.
The former New Zealand coach said, “On his day, he can turn a game over his head. We need to use him in a place where we can maximize his skills and we are looking at how we do that.” We do.”
Hewson wants Maxwell to understand his role.
“I am waiting to talk to him and be clear about his role. It’s been a few days now. Between the teammates, he is going to bat, so it would be better for him to understand his role well.” They have good skills, are highly experienced as well. Be a part of the leadership group. “
The 6-foot-9-inch Kyle Jamieson has been one of New Zealand’s heroes in Test cricket, but Hessen feels that even in India, the bounce he can pull off due to his height will be much easier for RCB.
“As I said, in some grounds, we want bowlers who will bowl mainly on the cutter and any other ground, where the ball swings and bounces, Kyle would be lethal.”
Hewson justified the young Black Cap’s crazy bid, “It’s about being complemented with skill and brings in the group, obviously with the bat he has skills about being a power player.”
As far as the Indian fast bowling group is concerned, Hessen is looking at a “course for horses” when choosing between Navdeep Saini and Mohammed Siraj.
“Siraj is exceptional with the new ball. He has the ability to swing the new ball while Kyle will bounce and get a different challenge. Saini has a bit more speed and bowls at a different length. He is used to different stages. Will be done in sport.”
Hessen was also happy with the kind of captain Virat Kohli, who will be opening in the upcoming season.
“I think Virat is very experienced with what he does with RCB and he is going to bat at the top of the order. This is a situation he knows well. He is in fine touch.

“I felt the way he played in the T20s against England and what day he controlled the tempo for RCB.”
Among the uncapped Indian players, Hessen mentioned the names of Rajat Patidar of Madhya Pradesh and Mohammad Azharuddin of Kerala.
