“I had a discussion with AB the last year when we were trying to figure out who were the players that we could sign next year. Maxi’s name came up and I spoke to AB about this. And we felt that we could bring the best out of him and provide him with an environment where he can be a part of the core group. And that can empower people,” Kohli said on Star Sports’ show ‘Inside RCB’.

AB de Villiers on Glenn Maxwell’s contribution in RCB’s success
“There is more to it than just that. He brings a lot to the party his attitude his energy. He is another very experienced player in our team who is outspoken and loud about how the way he wants us to do things out there is in the middle. Especially get the energy going. I am more of a quiet type. I love to be captain out there and help Virat out there. But I would not be outspoken a lot. So I think we needed someone like him. He really makes sure that everyone is on their toes,” an RCB veteran said.
