BCCI takes action against Glenn Maxwell – 25% match fee fine and demerit point!
New Delhi,(Glenn Maxwell recived fined ):Hi friends! In Today big news – BCCI has taken strict action against Punjab Kings star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. During the match against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, Maxwell violated the IPL Code of Conduct, due to which 25% of his match fee was deducted and he was also given a demerit point. But the question is – what did Maxwell do? And what will be its effect on his team? Let’s know the whole story!
This incident happened in a high-voltage match of IPL 2025 – Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings, which was played on 8 April at the New PCA Stadium, New Chandigarh. Punjab batted first and scored 219 runs, including a century in 39 balls by young star Priyansh Arya. But Maxwell’s bat remained silent again – he was dismissed by R Ashwin after scoring just 1 run. According to reports, Maxwell did something in anger that was against the rules of IPL. BCCI considered it a Level 1 violation under Article 2.2 – that is, misuse of cricket equipment, clothing, or field items.
What is Article 2.2?
So what is this Article 2.2? This rule says that no player can intentionally or negligently damage cricket equipment, such as wickets, advertising boards, or dressing room items. It seems that Maxwell broke something in anger – perhaps in the dressing room or on the field. For this, 25% of his match fee was deducted and a demerit point was also given. Now if Maxwell accumulates 4 demerit points, he may have to face a ban of one match. Maxwell admitted this mistake and accepted the punishment of the match referee.
But the question is – was this anger due to his form?”Maxwell’s bat has been cold so far in IPL 2025. He has scored only 31 runs in 4 matches, that too with a strike rate of 129.17. Yes, he did take 3 wickets with the ball, including the important wicket of Rachin Ravindra against CSK. But Punjab Kings have high expectations from this Australian star bought for 4.2 crores. His action and poor form can become a cause of concern for the team. However, Punjab won that match by 18 runs, but can Maxwell’s anger cost the team in the future?
The reaction of the fans is also mixed. Some people are saying – ‘Maxwell should focus on his form, nothing will happen by getting angry.’ At the same time, some fans are supporting him that he will make a comeback soon. So what do you think, friends? Will Maxwell be able to return to his old form this season? Or will this demerit point be a lesson for him? Do share your opinion in the comments!
