Glenn Maxwell has scored a hat-trick of ducks in the 2024 IPL for Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Glenn Maxwell suffered a hat-trick of ducks in the Indian Premier League 2024, being dismissed without scoring against Mumbai Indians. He faced just four balls before being sent back to the dressing room by Shreyas Gopal. Despite being the worst performer for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 17th season, the management continues to support him.

The all-rounder has scored 0.3, 28, 0, 1 and 0. Virat Kohli, who only managed three runs off nine balls, appeared displeased with Maxwell and gave him a stern look as he headed back to the dugout.

Maxwell has been in sensational form in international cricket. But he has failed to translate that into the cash-rich league.

With the franchise losing 4 out of 5 matches, he has been one of the reasons for RCB's failure. Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah got the better of Kohli after Hardik Pandya won the toss and asked RCB to bat first.

In his debut game, Will Jacks scored eight runs before being dismissed by Akash Madhwal.

Captain Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar formed a crucial partnership, hitting fifties and adding 82 runs to the scoreboard. Patidar, who had been out of form in previous games, scored 50 runs off 26 balls, including four sixes and three fours. But just when the visitors were looking strong, Patidar was dismissed by Gerald Coetzee, followed soon after by Maxwell.
