Former Indian skipper Virender Sehwag has opined that Glenn Maxwell is more concerned about golf than his performances on the cricket field during his stints in the IPL. He made this observation during a discussion on the Sony Sports network about the Australian all-rounder’s vast difference in returns while playing for the country and in the prestigious league. Sehwag replied in the negative when asked if Glenn Maxwell feels more pressure in the IPL because of which his performances are not up to the mark. He added that the maverick Victorian involves himself in all activities other than contributing in the middle. The former Kings XI Punjab mentor observed that Glenn Maxwell is more concerned about his stints at the golf course than those on the cricket field when he is playing in the IPL. “So, I never felt that he is that serious about the game. When he comes to the IPL, he is more serious about his golf than cricket. Because if you are that serious, the performance shows.” Sehwag pointed out that Glenn Maxwell has a totally different mindset when he represents his country, as his position in the team is at stake. “His attitude changes when he plays for Australia. When he goes to Australia, he knows that if he has two or three bad innings, he will be left out of the Australian team and it will be difficult to make a comeback.”
