Punjab Kings ke liye IPL 2025 mein ek bada setback saamne aaya hai. Unke star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell ki ungli fracture ho gayi hai aur aisa lagta hai ki woh poora tournament miss kar sakte hain. Yeh chot unko ek practice session ke dauraan lagi, Chennai Super Kings ke khilaf match se pehle.
Captain Shreyas Iyer ne toss ke waqt confirm kiya:
“Yeh kaafi unfortunate hai ki uski finger fracture ho gayi hai. Abhi tak humne replacement decide nahi kiya hai, lekin humein apni team ke bench strength par pura bharosa hai. Bahar baith kar bhi kaafi match-winners hain.”
Maxwell ke teammate Marcus Stoinis ne bhi situation par light daali:
“Unfortunately, Maxi ki finger toot gayi hai. Training ke dauraan laga tha, initially laga kuch khaas nahi, lekin scans ke baad pata chala ki serious hai. Ab lagta hai ki woh tournament se bahar ho sakte hain.”
Maxwell ka IPL 2025 mein performance kuch khaas nahi raha hai. Unhone batting mein sirf 48 runs banaye hain 6 innings mein, jisme se chaar mein toh single-digit score tha. Lekin offspin bowling se unhone thodi contribution di hai – ab tak 4 wickets le chuke hain.
Punjab Kings ne unko INR 4.2 crore mein 2025 ke mega auction mein kharida tha. Maxwell ke injury ke baad PBKS ne Suryansh Shedge ko team mein liya aur sirf teen overseas players ke saath field utare CSK ke khilaf.
Ab dekhna yeh hoga ki Punjab Kings apne star player ke bina kaise cope karte hain. Kya unke bench ke heroes team ko playoff tak le jaa paayenge?
