Punjab Kings' IPL 2025 opener saw Maxwell fall for a golden duck, but Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 97 led the team to a stellar 243/5 against Gujarat Titans.

Maxwell's Golden Duck, Shreyas Stars in IPL 2025 Opener

Glenn Maxwell's golden duck was a setback, but Shreyas Iyer's captivating 97* led Punjab Kings to a formidable 243/5 in their IPL 2025 opener against Gujarat Titans.

Maxwell registers golden duck as Shreyas shines in IPL 2025 opener

Maxwell fell for a golden duck as Iyer's unbeaten 97 propelled Punjab Kings to 243/5 against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 opener.

Punjab Kings had high expectations when they brought Glenn Maxwell back into their team at the IPL 2025 auction.
However, the Australian power-hitter's return to the franchise started on a disappointing note. In his first match against Gujarat Titans, Maxwell faced a setback with a first-ball dismissal, falling for a golden duck.
Attempting a reverse sweep on his opening delivery against R Sai Kishore, Maxwell was adjudged LBW. The situation was further aggravated as replays revealed the ball would have missed the stumps, yet Maxwell opted not to utilize the Decision Review System (DRS). This marked Maxwell's 19th duck in IPL history, setting an unenviable record for the most ducks by any batter.
In a match played on Tuesday, Punjab Kings showcased a commanding performance led by their new skipper, Shreyas Iyer. Iyer made a remarkable debut as captain, crafting a scintillating unbeaten 97 off just 42 balls, propelling his team to a formidable total of 243 for five.
His innings was embellished with nine towering sixes and five exquisite fours, narrowly missing out on his first IPL century. The innings concluded on a thrilling note as Shashank Singh unleashed an explosive cameo, smacking 44 off 16 balls, including six fours and two sixes.
A promising start for Punjab was set by Priyansh Arya, who demonstrated aggression from the outset.
Arya, a Rs 3.8 crore acquisition for PBKS at the last auction, hammered 47 from 23 balls. His assault included a massive six over Mohammed Siraj followed by a boundary, capitalizing on the power play to propel Punjab to 73/1 after six overs.
Kagiso Rabada provided Gujarat Titans with their first breakthrough when he had Prabhsimran Singh caught in the deep. This allowed Shreyas Iyer to stride to the crease, where he immediately impressed with a stylish drive and a six over deep square leg off Rabada.
Arya's onslaught continued against Arshad Khan, seizing 21 runs off the fifth over. His efforts were halted, however, by Rashid Khan, who dismissed Arya with a sharply turning delivery that induced a top edge.
Following Arya's departure, Afghanistan&rsquo;s Azmatullah Omarzai offered a brief but bright response, launching Rashid Khan for a six off his first ball. Yet, PBKS faced a setback when R Sai Kishore dismissed both Omarzai and Maxwell in successive deliveries, bringing the team to 105/4 in the 11th over.
Nonetheless, Shreyas Iyer's masterclass was far from over. Demonstrating immense skill and power, he reached his half-century in a mere 27 deliveries. Exploiting the bowlers, Shreyas lofted Sai Kishore for successive sixes and later targeted Rashid Khan, dispatching him for consecutive sixes, both straight down the ground and over deep mid-wicket.
Mohammed Siraj returned to bowl, but faced the onslaught of both Shreyas and Marcus Stoinis, each hitting a maximum, further fortifying Punjab's dominating innings.
The Punjab Kings' dazzling performance has sent a strong message in this edition of the IPL, with Shreyas Iyer's inauguration as captain proving to be an auspicious beginning despite Glenn Maxwell's unprecedented duck.

The Aussie batter hit a cover drive first ball but Ilyas flew to his left to grab it low and at full stretch. He was parallel to the ground when he grabbed that.

Glenn Maxwell's poor run with the bat turned worse on Thursday when he was out for a golden duck against Oman in Australia's T20 World Cup 2024 opening match.
The wicket may have been scalped by Mehran Khan but it was Aqib Ilyas' super effort which piled on the misery over Maxwell.
The Aussie batter hit a cover drive first ball but Ilyas flew to his left to grab it low and at full stretch. He was parallel to the ground when he grabbed that.
The super grab will surely go down as one of the best catches of the tournament.
Australia posted 164-5 and then restricted Oman to 125-9 at Barbados in its tournament opener but it wasn't a straightforward win.
The Australians were in a spot of bother when Mehran Khan dismissed skipper Mitchell Marsh for 14 and Glenn Maxwell for a golden duck on consecutive balls to make the total 50-3 in the ninth over.
Stoinis then reconstructed the Australian innings with a 102-run stand with opener David Warner.
Stoinis had a reprieve in the 15th over when a fielder caught him in the deep but fell back over the boundary, giving the batter six runs. It was the first of four sixes in that over that cost Mehran 26 runs.
Warner became Australia's highest scorer in T20 internationals before he was out for 56 off 51 balls. Stoinis finished unbeaten on 67 off 36.
Left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc (2-20) struck in the first over and the Australian bowlers steadily reduced the threat from Oman with regular wickets. Stoinis returned 3-19 to complete a player-of-the-match performance.

RCB IPL 2024: Glenn Maxwell reveals he's also nursing hip injury, unlikely for clash against KKR

<h2>"It's not one of those things where I've set a date that I'll be out for three games then I'll come back whenever I'm ready" - Glenn Maxwell</h2>

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who has taken a "mental and physical break" to address his poor form in the ongoing IPL season, has revealed that he is also nursing a "hip strain," further complicating his return to the playing XI for RCB's upcoming away match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.
Maxwell, 35, has been struggling to find his rhythm in the tournament, managing just 32 runs in six innings at an average of 5.33. His recent dip in form led him to withdraw from RCB's previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, citing fatigue and mental exhaustion. Speaking on ESPN's 'Around the Wicket' show, Maxwell opened up about his hip injury, shedding light on his current physical condition.
"I've actually got a little bit of a hip strain so I've got a few more days off and during recovery," Maxwell stated. "So I've got a little period here where I'm still training, still trying to get myself right. If there is a spot that becomes available, I'll obviously put my hand up and take it."
Maxwell emphasized his commitment to returning to the field once he feels fit and ready to contribute effectively to the team. However, he acknowledged the need to prioritize his recovery and regain his form before making a comeback.
"It's not one of those things where I've set a date that I'll be out for three games then I'll come back whenever I'm ready," Maxwell clarified. "That's not how it works. I haven't been at a level that's good enough to warrant a spot on the side this year."

Reflecting on his dismissal to Mayank Yadav in the RCB vs LSG encounter, Maxwell detailed how the 21-year-old's pace caught him off-guard, leading to his wicket.

IPL 2024; Glenn Maxwell lauds Mayank Yadav, rates youngster's pace as 'pretty formidable'

<h2>Reflecting on his dismissal to Mayank Yadav in the RCB vs LSG encounter, Maxwell detailed how the 21-year-old's pace caught him off-guard, leading to his wicket.</h2>

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has heaped praise on Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) emerging fast bowler, Mayank Yadav. Maxwell compared Yadav's electrifying pace to the former Australian speedster Shaun Tait at his zenith, marking him as a force to be reckoned with in the cricketing world.
In a conversation with ESPN after RCB's defeat to LSG, Maxwell, who fell prey to Yadav's prowess, shared his astonishment. Despite having done his homework by watching Yadav's performance in LSG's prior match against Punjab Kings, Maxwell confessed that facing the real thing was a different ball game.
He expressed admiration for Yadav's ability to unsettle batsmen, stating, "I thought it was really impressive. He hurried on a few of the Punjab batters and I certainly did a little bit of homework before coming up against him. But it's nothing doing homework against someone until you actually see it coming out of the hand and have to try and pick up the length."

Reflecting on his dismissal, Maxwell detailed how Yadav's varied pace caught him off-guard, leading to his wicket. "He has some real extra speed that you don't really see a lot of around world cricket at the moment. You see guys bowl pretty consistently around the 140s [kph] or high 140s. But to have mid-150s consistently in your arsenal is pretty formidable."
Maxwell's respect for Yadav's talent and speed was palpable as he likened his delivery style and impact to Shaun Tait's, particularly highlighting the challenge in anticipating the ball's behavior off the pitch. "It's such a beautiful smooth action," Maxwell commented. "He sort of glided through the crease really nicely. I think pace-wise, the only one that I can sort of really resemble it to is a little bit like Shaun Tait when he was in his heyday."

Glenn Maxwell opens up on Adelaide night out fiasco

Ending up in hospital after a late-night party in Adelaide was "less than ideal", conceded Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell about the headline-grabbing incident last month.

Maxwell was out drinking and watching a concert by 'Six and Out', the band featuring former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, when he felt unwell and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance last month.

Ending up in hospital after a late-night party in Adelaide was "less than ideal", conceded Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell about the headline-grabbing incident last month, saying his family was affected more than him by the dramatic turns of events.
Maxwell was out drinking and watching a concert by 'Six and Out', the band featuring former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, when he felt unwell and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance last month. He reportedly lost consciousness during the ride.
"I think probably it affected my family a little bit more than it affected me. I knew I had that week off. And obviously, that incident was less than ideal, and the timing," Maxwell was quoted as saying by the 'Australian Associated Press'.
"But I had that week (during which the incident took place) off, I knew I had that week off away from the game," he said.
On Sunday, the 35-year-old showed that he remains Australia's most dangerous batter in the shorter formats as he smashed a sensational 120 not out off 55 balls against the West Indies. It was a record-equalling fifth T20I hundred for him.
"...I came back and got back into my running, my gym program and it felt really good and refreshed once I got back. And it's all been focused on getting myself ready for this (T20) series and what's to come," he said.
Cricket Australia (CA) had launched an investigation into the incident and as a result, he was not a part of the preceding ODI series against the West Indies. Later, head coach Andrew McDonald urged the big-hitter "to hold up his end of the bargain" and "take care of himself".
"He needs to obviously have a look at what he's doing at his end and is that the right thing to be doing at that time?" McDonald had stated.
Maxwell said he moved on quickly from the incident in Adelaide.
"I just moved on pretty quickly. I was back in training on Monday so I was pretty good. The coach, Bails, everyone really, they have been outstanding," On his knock on Sunday, Maxwell said he knew a special effort was coming from his bat.
"I woke up this morning and I just had a funny feeling. I don't get it very often, and especially batting middle-order you don't get it often. But I just got a good look at their (West Indies) attack last game in Hobart, and felt like I got a good read of what they were bowling.
"I was disappointed getting out there in the same sort of scenario - short square boundaries with the ground quite similar, and another good wicket. So I felt like I'd missed out again, and I said 'you know what, I can't let this opportunity slip'," he said.
Talking about his life off the field, Maxwell said it is mostly devoted to chilling with his young family.
"...just a lot of family time. I think having that much downtime with the family at the moment, it has just been so good for me away from cricket. And I sort of come to cricket, it is just fun now, I'm able to just go out and just enjoy it," he said.
Maxwell is not new to being in the news for off-field drama.
Last year, he faced a series of injuries but despite that, he performed admirably in the World Cup.
During the ODI World Cup in India, Maxwell suffered concussion when he fell off a golf cart in Ahmedabad.
In 2022, he broke his leg when he slipped while running at a friend's birthday party and remained out of action for more than three months.&nbsp;

Australia's cricket board said it is "seeking further information" on Glenn Maxwell's hospitalisation last week, media reports say.

 Glenn Maxwell’s late night party ends in hospital, Cricket Australia launches probe: report

Australia's cricket board said it is "seeking further information" on Glenn Maxwell's hospitalisation last week, media reports say.

Cricket Australia (CA) has launched an investigation into an incident involving flamboyant all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who had to be rushed to a hospital following a late-night party in Adelaide last week.
According to Daily Telegraph, Maxwell was out drinking and watching a concert by 'Six and Out', the band featuring former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, when he felt unwell.
CA said it is aware of the incident involving the all-rounder who played a key role in Australia's triumphant World Cup campaign in India last October-November.
"Cricket Australia is aware of an incident involving Glenn Maxwell in Adelaide at the weekend and is seeking further information," a statement by CA said, according to 'ESPNcricinfo'.
Maxwell, who last week stepped down as captain of BBL side Melbourne Stars after failing to make the finals, was not named in the 13-man squad to face the West Indies in a three-match ODI series from February 2 and 6.
"It is not related to him being replaced in the ODI squad, a decision that was made following the BBL and based on his individual management plan. Maxwell is expected to return for the T20 series. No further comment will be made at this time," CA said.
He was, however, discharged from the hospital after a short stay and is back to training.

A jubilant Australia lifted the World Cup trophy for the record sixth time on November 19, 2023 but moments before the team photo, skipper Pat Cummins was caught off-guard.&nbsp;

Pat Cummins standing alone on the podium after being awarded the World Cup trophy was an unforgettable moment at the end of the marquee event. The Australian skipper had shook hands with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Richard Marles before accepting the trophy that evening. Nearly three weeks after the historic night, Cummins' teammate Glenn Maxwell has revealed what the team felt after seeing their captain all alone with the trophy. Speaking to Australian daily The Age, Maxwell said, 'It was quite funny watching the videos of the post-match presentation where he (Pat Cummins) shook Modi's hand and was stuck there on the podium.' Maxwell also commended his captain for dealing with the unexpected situation patiently.&nbsp; 'It felt like that lasted for about 10 minutes, him just standing there with the trophy waiting for the group to come on. But he actually dealt with it with class. He didn't make a big song and dance about it, [he] just thought 'you know what, I'll wait here, be respectful.' Not everyone would've dealt with that like he did.'&nbsp; Australia defeated India in the Cricket World Cup final to lift the trophy a record sixth time on November 19, 2023.&nbsp;

<h2>With the feud between Mitchell Johnson and David Warner out in the open, Glenn Maxwell called the opener an 'absolute champion of Australian cricket'.</h2>

Australian cricket is witnessing a public feud between former teammates David Warner and Mitchell Johnson, but Glenn Maxwell is choosing not to get involved in the controversy. While tensions rise, Maxwell is clear that he supports Warner's selection in the Test team for the upcoming Pakistan series.
In a recent interview with Australian radio station SEN, Maxwell expressed his reluctance to add fuel to the ongoing dispute. He emphasized Warner's significant contributions to Australian cricket over the years and pointed out that the selectors had a clear stance on his inclusion.
"I&rsquo;m not going to throw my name into some headlines about this. But Davey&rsquo;s been an absolute champion of Australian cricket for a long period of time, and the selectors were pretty clear on what they thought of it (selecting him). I&rsquo;m looking forward to seeing Davey in that first Test and him making a lot of runs this summer," remarked Maxwell, steering clear of taking sides in the disagreement.
Warner and Johnson's feud took a personal turn, with Johnson revealing that a text message from Warner earlier this year played a role in their strained relationship. Despite the escalating tensions, Maxwell chose to maintain a neutral stance.

It was Maxwell's 4th T20I hundred and he has now equalled Rohit Sharma's record of scoring the most tons in the shortest format of the game.

It was Maxwell's 4th T20I hundred and he has now equalled Rohit Sharma's record of scoring the most tons in the shortest format of the game.

A run-chase of 223 looked very tough and with Australia reduced to 68/3, India seemed on course to seal the 5-match T20I series with 2 games left.
But entered Glenn Maxwell and ran riot.
He went into beast mode and single-handedly carried his side over the finish line with an unbeaten 48-ball-104.
Courtesy of his super knock Australia stayed alive in the 5-match series.
It was Maxwell's 4th T20I hundred and he has now equalled Rohit Sharma's record of scoring the most tons in the shortest format of the game.
However, the Aussie power hitter took 48 innings less than the hitman to achieve the milestone. What made the feat even more special was the fact that Maxwell was playing his 100th T20I.
While the Aussies stayed on track in the chase, quick wickets saw them looking for some inspiration at 134/5 within 14 overs.
But Cometh the hour, cometh the man as Glenn Maxwell showed why he is the best finisher around in T20s and helped Australia win with 5 wickets to spare.
A much needed innings by Maxwell saw the Aussies take the series to the 4th game now with India still leading the series by 2-1.

"I've never been in a position where I've had full body cramps like that" - Glenn Maxwell revealed the severity of his cramping issues during his insane double hundred that many are calling the greatest ODI knock of all time.

Glex Maxwell had never in his career experienced body cramps of the sort he suffered in Mumbai while blasting one of the greatest-ever knocks in an ODI match and helping Australia qualify for the semifinals of the World Cup.
Speaking after the match, Maxwell said, "Never been in a position where I've had full body cramps like that".
Maxwell could hardly run midway through his innings but that did not stop him from pounding ten 6s and twenty-one 4s on his way to an unbeaten 201.

How his body felt during the innings
"I've never been in a position where I've had full body cramps like that, and I sort of felt it coming on a few overs before that and was just hoping that I could sort of get through. And once we... once we stayed at the same end for a couple of overs, I felt like I was starting to get a little bit of movement back. But that actually probably made the whole job a little bit more simple. I wasn't sort of overthinking the situation. I just knew if I've got a ball that I could hit or try and hit it."
At what point did he believe that they could win
"That's a good question. I think when Patty (Pat Cummins) was, Patty was pretty calm. I think when it got to about maybe 60 or 70 (runs), I thought to two more, maybe half-decent overs, around 15., it's right in the balance here. We knew that. I knew Rasheed had about 18 balls left and that it is going to happen in the last 13 overs or something like that. So as long as we sort of kept him out of the game, I felt like I could...I could hit boundaries off the others. So I was sort of more about negating him, not letting him have a shot at the rest of the tail. And because he's obviously world-class, it can hit you in the pad, he can beat you on both sides of the bat. So I just felt like if we could negate him and keep him out of the back end of the game, we'd be alright."
On his overall feelings at the end of the innings
"It's been a busy couple of weeks, all since my family arrived. So it's...yeah, it's been a weird couple of weeks, but yeah, extremely grateful, I suppose, to be able to get back out here and make the semis. I think after the first two games, we were pretty close to being written off for most people and to being able to string six wins together at the right time...and we didn't have our best stuff tonight, against a pretty spirited opposition. So to be in the semis is a great feeling and hopefully, we enjoy a few days in Pune. And I'll stay away from golf carts."

<h2>'I didn't want to bat' - Glenn Maxwell revealed after his fastest World Cup hundred</h2>

Australia's Glenn Maxwell revealed on Wednesday that he was ill and 'didn't want to bat' before he made the fastest century in World Cup history against the Netherlands in Delhi. Maxwell made his century in just 40 balls - beating the mark set 18 days ago by South Africa's Aiden Markram by nine deliveries.
<a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/glenn-maxwell-smashes-fastest-icc-cricket-world-cup-hundred-off-40-balls-in-australia-vs-netherlands-aus-vs-ned-aiden-markram-record-1698239840714">Maxwell's 106 is the fourth fastest in ODI history</a> and - together with David Warner's 104 - helped Australia to 399 for 8 against the Dutch who were skittled out for just 90.
Here's what he said during his post-match press conference:
How sick he was before the game?
"Yeah, not great. I've got to be honest, sitting in the changing room and I didn't want to bat. It was a bit different to the last game where I was way too eager to get out there. And then we talked about over-arousal levels and I probably reached double maximum, if you couldn't tell. But yeah, I was a bit more chilled when I got out there. Didn't have too many high hopes I think. Pretty crook the last couple of days, coincided with the sleepless night last night with the family over."
On being criticised for his lean returns in recent times
"I'm not too worried about people saying I haven't made runs in ODI cricket because it doesn't really matter, especially with my role in one-day cricket, it's very similar to T20. So I just draw on those experiences, knowing that if I do get it right on the day, hopefully, my team will be winning. Having had a bit of success this year in India during the IPL, I come to India during this World Cup full of confidence."

"I'm very aware of them! I'm very aware of balls faced. I love the fastest 50, fastest 100 records, I think they're pretty cool records, sometimes to the detriment of myself. I've always probably pushed the boundaries a bit too much. I think against Afghanistan in 2015, I was 88 off 37 (balls) and I was like 'I'm getting it (century) in the next two balls.' Hit one straight to cover and butchered it but I think I got the fastest hundred next game. So I've been in those positions before where I make fast hundreds when I get on a run. I know I'm difficult to bowl to, it's just about getting past the first ball."

<h2>Chasing an imposing target of 400, Netherlands were bowled out for just 90, with Adam Zampa taking a brilliant 4-wicket haul - his 3rd in as many matches.</h2>

In a history-making performance at the World Cup, Australia delivered a resounding 309-run victory over the Netherlands in Delhi, marking the largest winning margin ever recorded in the tournament's ODI history. The match's standout moment came in the form of <a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/glenn-maxwell-smashes-fastest-icc-cricket-world-cup-hundred-off-40-balls-in-australia-vs-netherlands-aus-vs-ned-aiden-markram-record-1698239840714">Glenn Maxwell's remarkable century</a>, the fastest in World Cup history, achieved with an astonishing century off a mere 40 deliveries.
Australia set the stage for their remarkable triumph by posting a formidable total of 399 for eight after winning the toss and choosing to bat.

The Australian batting display was nothing short of spectacular, and it was Maxwell's exhilarating century that left cricket enthusiasts in awe. His breathtaking performance showcased his extraordinary talent and ability to dominate the game. His century off just 40 balls was a remarkable feat, securing his place in the tournament's history books.
The Netherlands, tasked with chasing down this imposing target, faced an uphill battle from the outset. As wickets continued to tumble, it became clear that they were struggling to maintain any momentum in the run chase. Australia's Adam Zampa played a pivotal role in their demise, securing his third consecutive four-wicket haul. His relentless performance played a crucial part in bowling the Netherlands out for a mere 90 runs.

For Australia, Warner and Maxwell smashed tons, Steve Smith also found form with a 71 off 68.

The star all-rounder who looked out of touch so far in the event, accumulating scores of just 25, 17, 21 and 1 before the Netherlands game, broke Aiden Markram's record of the fastest hundred. The South African had hit a 49-ball 100 earlier in the tournament against Sri Lanka.&nbsp;

IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: GlennMaxwellstars as AustraliabeatIndia by 66 runs

Skipper Rohit Sharma (81) and Kohli struck fifties to provide the middle-order with a perfect platform in the big chase, but the rest floundered to hand Australia the advantage.

Australia saved their best for the last as Indian middle-order wilted under pressure exerted by part-time off-spin of Glenn Maxwell, losing the third ODI by 66 runs here on Wednesday.
India however won the series 2-1.
India were cruising along at 171 for 2 chasing a stiff target of 353 on a placid track but the middle-order crumbled in chase with Maxwell (4/40) getting crucial breakthroughs to restrict the hosts to 286 in 49.4 overs.
Skipper Rohit Sharma (81) and Kohli struck fifties to provide the middle-order with a perfect platform in the big chase, but the rest floundered to hand Australia the advantage.
Earlier, Mitchell Marsh (96) headlined Australia's best batting show with David Warner, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne helping themselves to attacking half-centuries during a commanding performance to break a five-ODI losing streak.
The two teams will now play a couple of warm-up games before meeting again in 10 days' time for the tournament-opener in Chennai on October 8.
While Marsh missed reaching triple figure by a whisker, Australia's batters came good collectively in what was their last official ODI before the start of the World Cup.
Warner had himself to blame for his dismissal after a fiery 56 off 34 balls (6x4s, 4x6s), but he set the tone for Australia early on.
Smith also put brakes on his poor run of scores to make a rapid 74 and towards the end, Labuschagne upped the ante with his 58-ball knock to help Australia post their challenging score.
Labuschagne also became Australia's top run-getter in the ongoing calendar year.
During the chase, Rohit clobbered six sixes and five fours to race to 81 from 57 balls and recorded his ninth fifty against Australia and 53rd overall, while Kohli, who looked good for his 48th ODI ton had to settle for 66th half-century.
The two batters put on 70 for the second wicket and took India close to the 150-run mark by the 21st over, but after Rohit and Kohli were dismissed, the others fumbled collectively.
Maxwell accounted for Washington Sundar (18) and then held onto a stunning reflex catch of Rohit, had Kohli mistime a pull-shot and fooled Shreyas Iyer (48) with a beauty to mark an impressive return after a six-month long injury layoff.
Josh Hazlewood took 2/42 and Cameron Green claimed 2/30 to provide ideal support for Maxwell.
Rohit began with two spectacular sixes off Mitchell Starc over cover and pulled Pat Cummins twice over midwicket with command to provide early impetus.
The India captain, coming off a two-game break, hit the straps immediately which also made up for the dot balls his first-wicket partner Washington Sundar consumed.
The makeshift opener Washington Sundar pulled Hazlewood for his first four and smacked Cummins for a six &mdash; reminiscent of his famous six from the 2020-21 Australia tour &mdash; but perished for 18 off 30 balls.
Rohit and Kohli went about their jobs unchallenged for the better part of their stand, but their association came to an abrupt end in the 21st over when Maxwell, taking an evasive action on a powerful shot from the India skipper, ended up catching the ball one-handed.
Maxwell continued to make inroads as this time he got the key wicket of Kohli, who, looking to clear Steve Smith at midwicket, got a top edge, which was collected by the fielder running behind.
Despite a set platform to take the mantle, India&rsquo;s middle-order stuttered which allowed Australia to grab control.
KL Rahul added 52 runs with Iyer for the fourth wicket but fell to Starc after a 30-ball 26 and Suryakumar Yadav (8) pulled one short from Hazlewood to Maxwell.
Maxwell then cleaned up Iyer for a 43-ball 48 (1x4s, 2x6s) and Hazlewood had Kuldeep Yadav chop one onto his wickets.
Ravindra Jadeja scored 35 from 36 balls (3x4s, 1x6s) but had no batting partner left to try avoiding the inevitable.

David Warner & Ashton Agar have also been included but Josh Hazlewood's name is missing.

While speaking on the RCB Season 2 Podcast, Maxwell spoke about Warne who died last year due to a cardiac arrest while vacationing in Thailand.

Australia's star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell says the late Shane Warne had the ability to make one feel at ease in an instant and reveals how the spin wizard reached out to him during a tough phase.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) player termed Warne, who died last year due to a cardiac arrest while vacationing in Thailand, as the most caring and loyal person he had ever come across.
"He is probably the most giving and loyal person that I've probably ever met. Generous not just with what he did with his charity work but generous with his knowledge and time," Maxwell said while speaking on the RCB Season 2 Podcast.
"He actively sought out young spinners during their warm-ups to talk them through different skill sets and trying to help them to be the best version of themselves.
"Everyone felt like they had a connection instantly because that's the way he made you feel, he makes you feel like your best friend straightaway," said Maxwell.
Warne grabbed 708 wickets from 145 Tests and remains the second-highest wicket-taker in the traditional format behind Muttiah Muralitharan.
Warne had also picked up 293 wickets from 194 ODIs, making him only the second bowler in history to go past 1,000 international wickets.
Beyond those monumental stats, Maxwell said Warne cared a lot for him and reached out in a time of need.
"I suppose, post cricket hours, I was so lucky to be able to play some golf with him, chat to him off the field, talk to him on the phone. He cared a lot. Once he saw me before one of the Big Bash games, just walking around. We had a small chat and I sort of&hellip; I wouldn't say I brushed him but I sort of just walked away.
"He messaged me afterwards: 'Are you alright?' And he checked in a couple of times. And then the fourth time I finally opened up. And so I said, this is what's going on. He goes, mate, just take it easy, take a break, do whatever you need to do. I'm always here for you," said Maxwell.
RCB retention made me calm: Maxwell ======================= Maxwell joined the RCB ahead of IPL 2021 and made an instant impact, scoring upwards of 500 runs.
But the Australian said he had flutters before the IPL mega auction in 2022 and a call from RCB Director of Cricket Operations Mike Hesson calmed his nerves.
` "You never know what's gonna happen because it's a big auction. And like, with how many people they were going to retain and we had, obviously, a couple of bowlers &mdash; Siraj, Harshal, Yuzi (Chahal), then AB (de Villiers), Virat, and those young Indian players, and all could have been retained at some stage.
"So to retain an overseas batter, sometimes isn't the smartest move. It seems straightforward, but in my head, there was obviously a lot more I had to go through and when I got the phone call that I was gonna be retained, I was pumped and couldn't wait to stick around," said Maxwell.
In the IPL 2021, Maxwell made 513 runs from 15 matches with a strike-rate of 144 that included six fifties while averaging 42.75.
In IPL 2022, Maxwell made vital contributions in RCB's play-offs entry, scoring 301 runs from 13 matches with a strike rate 169.

Glenn Maxwell feels Australia were "outstanding" in the first two Tests against India barring the one self-destructing session in Delhi on day three.
Australia lost nine wickets for 52 runs in their second innings to squander the slight advantage they had at the start of day three.
"I think they&rsquo;ve showed a lot of fight. Bar that one session I thought they were outstanding. It&rsquo;s bloody difficult over there - it&rsquo;s not an easy place to play, it&rsquo;s so foreign for us.
"But I feel like, apart from a couple of little moments, we&rsquo;ve been in the fight, we&rsquo;ve been matching India at different times and they&rsquo;ve shown a lot of fight," he was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Among the current lot, Maxwell is the only one to have scored a Test century in India alongside Steve Smith.
