Glenn Maxwell and KL Rahul had shared the same dressing room during the cash-rich IPL tournament in which Rahul received the orange cap for scoring the highest number of runs in the tournament. The Karnataka based cricketer who captained the team, gave his everything to enter the playoffs but failed. Maxwell tried his best but couldn’t give it all for his team as well.

Now, in the team meeting conducted by the Australian cricket management, Maxwell was asked to discuss about the flaws of his Punjab team captain. However, the 32 year old who awed Rahul’s terrific batting form in recent times, reportedly said that getting him out while running between the wickets is the only way to send him back to the pavilion.

“He (Rahul) was a gun. We had a team meeting the other day and they came to me and asked how I thought we should get him out, and one of things I said was try and run him out,” said Maxwell to the media. “So I think that’s what we’re going to try and do the whole way through the series, try and run him out and hope for the best” he added.

Maxwell said that very few can handle pressure situation better than him. “He’s a great performer… got a great temperament, great head on his shoulders and is extremely calm in pressure situations,” the aussie stated.
