Australia's explosive batter Glenn Maxwell endured a nightmare start to his IPL 2025 campaign, registering a golden duck for Punjab Kings against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
Coming in at No. 5, Maxwell fell lbw on the very first ball he faced while attempting a reverse sweep against left-arm spinner Sai Kishore.
