Glenn Maxwell, IPL 2026 Mini Auction: The mini auction of the 19th season of the Indian Premier League is going to be held in Abu Dhabi on 16 December. There is less than a month left for this auction, due to which Australia’s great batsman Glenn Maxwell is in the news. Before November 15, all the teams had to retain and release their players, in which Punjab Kings dropped Maxwell. Now in such a situation, it is expected that a bid may be placed on this big player. These 3 teams may show interest. He has played with 4 different teams over the last 13 seasons.
Rajasthan Royals
The performance of Rajasthan Royals under the captaincy of Sanju Samsung was very disappointing in IPL 2025. Despite a good start, the team later expanded and unfortunately could not make it to the playoffs. However, before IPL 2026, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran have come to the team through trade. Despite this, RR is looking for a player who has the ability to turn the match single-handedly. Glenn Maxwell can accomplish this task very well. Even though his performance has not been good, he has the ability to win the match single-handedly.

Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings can also go after Australia’s explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. This team likes to buy the most experienced players and this has been seen in many seasons. Currently Jamie Overton is in the team. Whereas, Jadeja and Karan are out. In such a situation, to fulfill his deficiency, Glenn Maxwell will have to be targeted in the mini auction. Apart from this, the spin bowlers in the middle of Chennai get help, which Maxwell can complete. Coming to the middle order, he has the ability to play big and fast innings with the bat.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders team is currently in the news before the mini action, because their explosive batsman Andre Russell has been released. Apart from the bat, he has also been making good contributions with the ball, but the team does not want to go ahead with him. In such a situation, this team needs an explosive all-rounder whose lack can be fulfilled by Glenn Maxwell. Sunil Narayan will open, while Rovman Powell will play at 4 or 5. In such a situation, Maxwell can prove to be effective in the middle order as a third dangerous batsman. Considering all these things, franchises can throw huge amount of money on him in the auction.
