IPL 2023: RCBs Glenn Maxwell hopes to stay fit before the start of Indian Premier League

Glenn Maxwell, an all-rounder for Australia and Royal Challengers Bangalore, has said that his left leg injury has fully recovered, however it will take a few months before he is fully fit. The RCB star broke his left fibula in a tragic incident at a friend’s birthday party in November last year, just days after Australia was knocked out of the T20 World Cup at home.

The severe injuries demanded immediate surgery and a lengthy recuperation time. Maxwell just got back on the ODI team, which won the three-match series against India 2-1. Now, the cricketer is looking forward to playing for RCB at its home ground, the Chinnaswamy Stadium, for the first time in almost two years.

Recently in a video posted on social media by RCB ahead of the IPL 2023 season, Maxwell said, “The leg is fine. It will be several months before I am completely recovered”. The 34-year-old stated that he hopes to return to RCB after recovering from his injury.


After two years of playing in bio-bubbles because of the COVID-19 epidemic, the IPL is set to return to a home-and-away format in 2023. Maxwell was excited about the idea of playing in front of his home fans.

Maxwell has already begun training for the IPL 2023, and the franchisee intends to have him firing on, like he did in his first season with RCB in 2021.

RCB will start their season on April 2 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium against the five-time champion Mumbai Indians under the leadership of Faf du Plessis.
