Rishabh Pant likes RCB’s ‘team culture’ post featuring Glenn Maxwell, sparks IPL deal rumours

Star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell of Australia talked candidly about his seamless departure from Royal Challengers Bengaluru on November 6. The 36-year-old disclosed that he spoke with the team management for 30 minutes before to the IPL retention deadline, during which the team explained its goals and objectives for the future. Maxwell emphasised that and expressed his wish that other teams treat their players in the same way.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a statement from their Director of Cricket, Mo Bobat, after he made his remarks, emphasising the value of preserving a positive “team culture.” “A player’s beginning and ending are very important in a particular franchise, and they pay attention to building personal and cultural connections with everyone,” Bobat said.

Remarkably, Rishabh Pant, a famous player for India, loved that Instagram post. The Delhi Capitals released the cricket player prior to the IPL 2025 mega-auction, and he has since been linked to a number of teams, including RCB, who are also searching for a new captain following the departure of Faf du Plessis.
