Maxwell said in the press conference: Glenn Maxwell’s announcement of an indefinite break
Maxwell said in the press conference after RCB’s sixth defeat in seven matches, he is not in a good ‘mental and physical condition’ at the moment. So decided to take a break.
Additionally Maxwell said, “For me, personally, it was a very easy decision.” “I went to Faf [du Plessis] and the coaches after the last game and said I think maybe it’s time we try someone else. I’ve been in this situation in the past, where you want to keep playing. I think now is a really good time for me to give myself some mental and physical rest, to get my body in a place where I can still make an impact. “
“We had a huge lapse immediately after the powerplay, which has been an area of my strength over the last few seasons. I felt like I wasn’t contributing in a positive way with the bat, and with the result and the situation. ” We find ourselves at the table, I think it’s a good time to give someone else a chance to show their stuff, and hopefully, someone can make that spot their own.”
The announcement of their break has shocked the IPL fans, but it also makes it clear that cricket players need to take care of their physical and mental health. To perform well in sports, the mental state of the player is also important.
He further said, “T20 cricket can be like that sometimes – it’s quite a volatile game.” “Even if you look at the first game, I ran a run through the middle of the bat towards the keeper. I caught a really good length, saw a chance to score, but opened up the face a bit too much. When you’re going OK, it’s Goes outside the gloves, you get a four, you score 4 runs from 1, and you are eliminated from the tournament.
“I probably haven’t escaped yet – it’s that simple. In the first few games, I think I made pretty good decisions, but I was still finding ways to get out. It can happen in T20 cricket and When it can snowball like this, you can search and put in too much effort and forget the basics of the game.”
Maxwell’s decision needs to be reviewed by other players as well, because there is always pressure and tension in cricket. From this we can learn that cricket is not just a game but a part of a player’s life in which they need balance and support.
Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar told Star Sports,
“He has been unable to play fast bowling.”
“Balls bouncing above his chest or shoulder height are bothering him. He can hit every ball below his waist height, but not any ball above that.”
In the next IPL matches, we will see how this indefinite break brings results in Maxwell’s game. He has always been strong in his support, and his decision has also given us an opportunity to learn an important lesson.
