Glenn Maxwell had a dismal outing in 2025. The star all-rounder had a forgettable time during the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he scored just 48 runs from seven matches and picked just four wickets. He was slightly better in international cricket but nowhere near his best.

He scored only 40 runs at an average of 20 in four ODIs, while he played 10 T20Is matches, aggregating 171 runs at an average of 21.37 and a strike rate of 169.30. He fared better with the ball, bagging two and six wickets in ODIs and T20Is, respectively.
