'Guys have been welcoming; looking to learn from ABD and Virat' - Glenn Maxwell

RCB surprised many when they cut a hole in their pocket to bid for Glenn Maxwell. They already had two of the best players, namely AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli but maybe they needed someone who can provide a late flourish and play the role of the finisher. And who better than Glenn Maxwell, one of the most destructive batsmen going around in world cricket.
