India and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has praised Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell for his run of success in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has compared him with former Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
Glenn Maxwell, who has surprized everyone with his powerful batting and played an instrumental role in the success of Kings XI Punjab in the current season of Indian Premier League.
India and CSK skipper said, “I think Maxwell batted exceptionally well and was supported by all the other batsmen. Once they got momentum it was tough. Once our spinners came to bowl, they got plenty out of them. Maxwell took them apart. You need some serious talent to do repeat these kinds of knocks. Maxwell has special talent. We used to talk about Virender Sehwag or Sachin Tendulkar at their best. Maxwell at present looks to be at his best. It is very important in a tournament like this to take care of Net Run Rate too. If we had go to a fantastic start in the first 6 overs, we would have gone after the total but we lost Smith early. So once we lost our way, we decided to work on the net run rate”.
