Maxwell’s Craziest Fan Interaction in India
When asked about his craziest fan interaction in India, Maxwell said that it has happened many times in India. Narrating one such incident, he said, “Anytime you are going through an airport in India it’s pretty crazy. Yesterday, in the car there were people chasing me and Faf (Faf du Plessis) down the road and banging on the windows, that was interesting.”
The 34-year-old also talked about his fitness routine during the injury period. Maxwell added that he lost some weight during that time but he has been working hard to regain his form and perform well on the field.
“I actually lost weight. I lost 7 kilos after the surgery and I’m pretty motivated and what I need to do to get back,” he added.
When asked about his preferred social media usage, Maxwell shared that he frequently watches videos on YouTube. In addition, he expressed his love for golf.
“Lots of Golf, Good Good, Rick Shiels and guys that I enjoy watching play Golf are Brian Bros and that’s only part of the days watching those guys,” he revealed.
The all-rounder suggested that hitting the ball out of the stadium should result in more runs. He said, “Get more for hitting it out of the stadium; if you lose the ball over the roof maybe getting a couple extra runs.”
Maxwell, who recently returned from an injury, has been performing well for the Royal Challengers Bangalore this season. He has scored 76 runs in three games, including one half-century. Currently, Maxwell and his team RCB are preparing to face off against Delhi Capitals on Saturday, April 15.
