This was Maxwell's 19th duck in IPL, the most by any player.
He surpassed Rohit Sharma, who has 18 ducks.
Maxwell did not opt for a DRS review, which replays showed would have saved him.
Shreyas Iyer, Maxwell's teammate, reportedly did not encourage the review.
Why this matters:: This highlights a significant, albeit unwanted, milestone in a prominent player's career and raises questions about in-game decision-making, particularly concerning the use of DRS.
In the match between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans on March 25, 2025, Glenn Maxwell faced his first ball of the season. He attempted his signature reverse sweep against spinner Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore but was struck on the pads. The umpire declared him out LBW. Despite the option of a DRS review, Maxwell, after a brief discussion with non-striker Shreyas Iyer, decided against it and walked back to the pavilion. Replays later confirmed that the ball would have missed the stumps, meaning the DRS would have overturned the decision. This incident has put the spotlight on both Maxwell's batting form and the strategic use of DRS within the team.
