Maxwell recalls frightening incident involving Virat Kohli
Recently, Australia’s explosive batter Glenn Maxwell shared a chilling incident from his time at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Indian Premier League (IPL), involving the ever-popular Virat Kohli. The incident, which took place during a car journey from the team hotel to the stadium, saw Kohli and Maxwell being hounded by fans. Indian batter Virat Kohli, who is a global icon, is one of the most revered stars and has a lot of fan following not only in India but also across the world. Maxwell recalled as to how people went crazy after seeing Virat Kohli.
"We had a training session where me and him went reasonably early to training, got all our stuff done. I think it was an optional session, so we batted together, batted for a while, finished up and said, 'Oh we can get a car back to the hotel.' We jumped in a car and immediately alarm bells were going off in my head that this is probably not a good idea. We had security in the front seat of the car and a car behind us full of police," Maxwell told LISTNR’s Podcast.
"As we were driving out of Chinnaswamy Stadium, people noticed we were driving out, we saw people punching on the window, like beating up his car. They were trying to get his attention and get him to look at them. I was surprised the car didn't have dents all over it... This was so uncomfortable and I was just looking at him, 'How do you deal with it on a day-to-day basis' and he sort of shrugged it off like it's what I go through. It's a scary way for him to live," Maxwell said.
