Kings XI Punjab batsman Glenn Maxwell has been in woeful form in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. The Australian heavy-hitter has scored just 48 runs in six games for the franchise so far at an average of 12. Maxwell�s form has become a topic of discussion, especially with KXIP not playing Chris Gayle, and losing five matches this season so far, four of which were consecutive.

In a recent chat from sources, former India opener Virender Sehwag criticised Maxwell and questioned the logic behind franchises going after him.

�Don�t know what sort of a platform Glenn Maxwell needs to explode. He came in early (against Sunrisers Hyderabad) after Punjab lost two batsmen quickly. A lot of overs were left this time, but he failed. Earlier, he didn�t have pressure (batting in the death overs in previous matches), yet he got out without performing,� Sehwag, who played for the franchise in 2014 and was later involved as part of its coaching staff, said.
