Ranking 10 worst player releases by Delhi Capitals in IPL history
A deep look at the players and their stints with Delhi suggests that the franchise was good enough to eye the talent but not back it for long enough.
5. Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell’s reputation as the big show was a lot more prevalent in 2012 than it has been at various stages of his career. But, he was someone who made loud noises at the domestic cricket in Australia and everyone knew that he was capable of extraordinary heights. Delhi’s IPL franchise was quick to take note of the new kid on the block.
He was bought by Delhi at the IPL 2012 auction. Maxwell was a dream for any team in the IPL. He still remains valuable but his key aspect is his handy off-spin along with power-hitting abilities. But, Delhi bought him for big bucks and played him in only two matches. That was the same year when Andre Russell was at the franchise, we will get to that in a while.
But, despite having a solid resume at his disposal, the Victorian was ignored by the Delhi franchise and let go after that season. He once again returned to the franchise in 2018 and was left out again. This time though, the player would have to take the blame upon himself. Despite his performances, Maxwell’s exclusion seems pretty odd for a team that struggled for years.
