Maxwell’s base price was INR 2 Cr and the bidding war

Previously in the IPL, the 32-year-old all-rounder has played for Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians before moving to Punjab.

Last season he was in terrible form during the tournament in the UAE and scored only 108 runs without hitting even a single six. KXIP had picked him up at the auction at INR 10.75 Cr.

He has played 82 games in the IPL so far in his career.
