Former India cricketer Parthiv Patel slammed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and called him the "most overrated" player in IPL 2024.
Patel's comment on Maxwell came after the end of RCB's match against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, where the Australian scored just four runs from three balls at a strike rate of 133.33. However, the Bengaluru-based franchise clinched a four-wicket win over GT in front of their home crowd.
Patel took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account and hit out at the 35-year-old for his performance in the ongoing IPL 2024.
"Glenn Maxwell....HE IS THE MOST OVERRATED player in the history of ipl," Patel wrote on X.
