RCB released Maxwell ahead of the auction
RCB had earlier signed Maxwell during the IPL 2021 auction for ₹14.5 crore. Across four seasons, he went on to become RCB's fifth-highest run getter overall with 1,266 runs from 52 matches. Maxwell helped RCB reach the play-offs in three of the four seasons he played for the team. However, he had a poor IPL 2024 season, scoring 52 runs from 10 matches.
Maxwell represented PBKS in the past
In 65 matches for PBKS, Maxwell went on to score 1,294 runs at 24.41. He hit six fifties and also recorded nine ducks for the franchise. Maxwell will hope to now do his best for the Kings with his all-round exploits.
