Harbhajan Singh, a former off-spinner for the Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders, has issued a warning to Glenn Maxwell, the batsman for the Royal Challengers of Australia.
The inaugural encounter was held at Chepauk, where Harbhajan warned Maxwell to be wary of the threat offered by CSK left-arm off-spinner Ravindra Jadeja. On March 22, MS Dhoni’s Yellow Army will play the Royal Challengers Bangalore, headed by Faf Du Plessis.
Fans are becoming restless and can’t wait to watch their favourite clubs dominate the 17th season of the Indian Premier League.
Anticipation is sky high. With a massive opening match to commence the new season, Harbhajan Singh is prepared for some intense individual contests. Glenn Maxwell and Ravindra Jadeja have one of those.
The former spin bowler who won the 2011 50-over World Cup and the 2007 T20 World Cup believes that Ravindra Jadeja has a great chance of taking Glenn Maxwell out.
Harbhajan pointed out that Jadeja will find it extremely simple to trap Maxwell given his style of hitting in the event that the Australian tries to hit big shots right away.
Based on his excellent cricketing experience, Bhajji believes that a batsman at the MA Chidambaram stadium should be able to stay silent for the first ten balls.
Before going for big hits, he said, batters should strive to focus and get into a decent zone. If a batter attempts to hit powerful shots off the bat right away, he or she is getting to the danger zone.
Furthermore, Harbhajan supported the left-arm finger spinner to effectively use his spin against a powerful hitter such as Glenn Maxwell.

“To just go out there and start hitting those sixes is a big task for anyone.” It’s necessary to provide oneself enough time to play doubles and singles. I think you’re putting yourself at risk if you don’t play ten balls here before you start hitting those boundaries. You can leave at any moment.
“Thus, I believe Jadeja will defeat Glenn Maxwell in this specific duel on that wicket, where it will help Jadeja a little bit. It can withstand a little. There will also be some side commentary, Harbhajan stated on Star Sports
When the two teams faced off in the league stages of the previous year, the Chennai Super Kings prevailed by a margin of eight runs. With the wickets of Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, and Moeen Ali, CSK had put a target of 226 on the board.
As a result, Faf Du Plessis scored more than sixty runs, while Glenn Maxwell amassed a strike rate of twenty-one points in a 36-ball 76, smashing eight sixes and three fours. RCB was folded for 218. However, despite a strong effort from the lower middle order, RCB was unable to win the game.
Glenn Maxwell is one of the batters in the world, according to Harbhajan Singh, who is well-versed in the Chepauk pitch, who can hit huge shots as soon as he steps onto the crease.
While Bhajji acknowledged that it’s easier said than done, Maxwell is without a doubt the person who could pull it off.
The four-time IPL champion concluded by saying it will be exciting to see the battle between Glenn Maxwell and Ravindra Jadeja.
“Maxwell is unstoppable on his day. It will be difficult for anyone to start hammering sixes from the first delivery on this wicket, though. But Maxwell is the only one who is capable of doing so. “Let’s see who prevails in this rivalry,” Harbhajan said.
