Mumbai Indians Share Old VIDEO Of Glenn Maxwell Shadow Practicing With Sachin Tendulkar On His Retirement

Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise shared a video on social media after Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell announced his retirement from international cricket. The video, posted on their official Instagram account, shows Maxwell shadow practicing with legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. The caption accompanying the video read, "Maxi's retirement got us taking a trip down memory lane!"

Maxwell, who played for Mumbai Indians in the 2013 season, where the team won their first-ever IPL trophy, was only a peripheral member of the squad. He had limited opportunities to bat and bowl during his brief stay with the franchise. The viral video captures Maxwell practicing the same shots that Tendulkar is known for, in a practice session known as shadow practice.

Tendulkar, known as the "God of Cricket," spent time shadow practicing with Maxwell during his short tenure with Mumbai Indians. The video serves as a nostalgic reminder of Maxwell's impressive 14-year-long career that spanned across multiple franchises, including Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

Maxwell took to social media to express his gratitude for his illustrious career, stating that he hopes to have inspired some kids to play cricket in a unique and open way. He emphasized the importance of not shying away from being oneself, both on and off the field.
