Dashing Australia batsman Glenn Maxwell has insisted that his performance in the IPL 2020, where he was unable to make a mark for Kings XI Punjab(KXIP), won't have any effect on his performance during the upcoming limited-overs series against India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In 13 innings, Maxwell scored just 108 runs, at an average of 15.42, with a strike-rate of just 101.88 for Kings XI who failed to make it to the play-offs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"No, it's not going to affect my performances in the upcoming series," Maxwell said during a select media interaction organized by series official broadcasters Sony.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He asserted that he will play wherever his team needs him to bat during the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I suppose I can contribute wherever I can with the ball and try to hold up one end. With the bat, as it was against England, I will be trying to finish off games and do as well as I can down the order."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 32-year-old, who has now been away from home since August when Australia toured England, also spoke about the difference between staying in a bio-bubble and quarantine and also how players can keep themselves mentally fit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I think it's a lot different being in a bio-bubble than in quarantine. Having been in quarantine for five-six months in Melbourne, I saw how sour the days can get. Being in bio-bubbles and hubs is probably a bit of a relief. You are able to have social interaction with people, with your teammates, and keep yourself busy which I think is the key to mental health," the right-handed batsman said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"During the IPL, I had simulated conversations that really help a person get through the day," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to him, in order to stay mentally fit in a bio-bubble, players also need to make regular phone calls to their family and friends.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Phone calls to home, knowing about your friends and family and letting them know that you are doing ok, I guess is also key to staying mentally fit in bio-bubble."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia and India are slated to compete in three ODIs and as much T20Is beginning November 27 in Sydney.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ind-vs-aus-poor-run-in-ipl-2020-wont-affect-my-performance-against-india,-says-maxwell.jpg", "alt_img": "ind vs aus poor run in ipl 2020 won't affect my performance against india, says maxwell", "alt_title": "Glenn Maxwell", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Ind vs Aus: Poor Run In IPL 2020 Won't Affect My Performance Against India, Says Maxwell On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Dashing Australia batsman Glenn Maxwell has insisted that his performance in the IPL 2020, where he was unable to make a mark for Kings XI Punjab(KXIP), won't have any effect on his performance during the upcoming limited-overs series against India.", "seo_keywords": "India tour of Australia 2020-21, kings XI Punjab, IPL 2020, Glenn Maxwell", "tag": "", "tagging": "India tour of Australia 2020-21,kings XI Punjab,IPL 2020,Glenn Maxwell,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "ind-vs-aus-poor-run-in-ipl-2020-wont-affect-my-performance-against-india-says-maxwell", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "3563", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2020-11-20 19:45:25", "updated": "2020-11-20 19:45:39", "img_from": "Glenn Maxwell", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "IPL 2020, Glenn Maxwell, Ind vs Aus, India, Australia, Kings XI Punjab, KXIP, ", "livescore_text": "", "livescore_link": "", "btn_text": "", "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2020-11-20 19:45:25", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2020-11-20 19:45:25", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ind-vs-aus-poor-run-in-ipl-2020-wont-affect-my-performance-against-india-says-maxwell-67314" }
