After Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell unfollowed Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), speculation about his departure from the franchise has intensified. Maxwell had a disappointing season in IPL 2024, underperforming while high expectations were placed on him. He was even dropped from several matches, citing injury as the reason. As a result, there are doubts about whether he will be retained by the team management for the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, Maxwell remains a highly sought-after player, and here are three teams that could be most interested in acquiring him.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals have yet to assemble the perfect team to dominate the IPL. In the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction, DC will need to work diligently to pick the best players. If Glenn Maxwell leaves RCB and enters the auction, Delhi should strive to acquire him, as the Australian batter is a proven match-winner. When in form, Maxwell can single-handedly win matches for his team. DC needs such match-winners to achieve consistent victories.

Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings lack a powerful hitter in the death overs, making Glenn Maxwell a valuable option for them. Additionally, he can contribute by bowling an over or two. Maxwell could thrive at CSK, similar to how Shane Watson did after moving from RCB to Chennai, flourishing under MS Dhoni’s captaincy.
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings (PBKS) might consider reacquiring their former player in the upcoming auction. Glenn Maxwell was outstanding for Punjab in the past, often winning close matches and turning critical moments in their favor. PBKS could look to build a new team around him, leveraging his match-winning abilities.
