Maxwell opts for break after forgettable run in IPL 2024
There were speculations that the Aussie might have sat out because of a thumb injury but it wasn’t the case.
Kings XI Punjab captain Glenn Maxwell won the toss and elected to bowl first against Delhi Daredevils at the PCA Stadium, Mohali on Sunday.
"We will bowl. It's a fresh pitch, there was a little bit of rain yesterday, should be helpful for our pacers," Maxwell said after winning the toss.
Karun Nair is captaining Delhi in the absence of Zaheer Khan.
