Glenn Maxwell: The 17th season of the Indian Premier League is passing like a nightmare for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). They have won only 1 match this season and are at the bottom of the points table. Not only this, now the danger of being out of the playoff race is also looming over them.

Amidst this bad phase, RCB's ace player Glenn Maxwell has taken a big decision and has signed an agreement with another team and he will soon join that team. Let us tell you which team Maxwell has decided to join in the middle of IPL.

He further said, “I had seen this league last year and was very excited to be a part of it. Luckily this year I am getting a chance to play for Washington Freedom. Along with me, RCB players and New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson will also be with me in that team. Hopefully this tournament will also become very famous in the future.”

Glenn Maxwell is struggling with bad times
