Let us know what is the reason due to which King Kohli blocked Glenn Maxwell on social media….
Glenn Maxwell was present in Virat Kohli’s block list
Australia’s legendary all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has been representing Royal Challengers Bangalore for the last four years. The franchise included him in its camp in the IPL 2021 auction. Let us tell you that RCB bet on him only after Virat Kohli’s request.
The Australian player has revealed in his book that after a poor performance in IPL 2020, he was sure to be out of Punjab Kings. But then during India’s tour of Australia that year, Virat Kohli told Glenn Maxwell that Royal Challengers Bangalore could buy him in the auction. However, at that time King Kohli’s relationship with Glenn Maxwell was not very good.
Because of this Virat Kohli blocked him
Speaking on the LiSTNR Sport podcast, Glenn Maxwell revealed that when he was associated with RCB, Virat Kohli had blocked him on social media. Giving information about this matter, the Australian player said,
“When I joined RCB, Virat was the first person to message me. When I came to the IPL pre-season training camp, I searched for Kohli on Instagram, but he was not found. I was surprised. Then someone told me that if you are not able to find Kohli in the search, it means that he has blocked you.”
“After this I went to Kohli and asked did you block me on Instagram? Kohli said yes, maybe because you made fun of me in the Test match. Then I said okay unblock me now. After this we became good friends.”
Virat-Maxwell clashed in 2017
In 2017, Australia toured India for a four-match Test series, the third match of which was played in Ranchi. Virat Kohli suffered a shoulder injury while fielding on the first day of the encounter and was seen in pain. Due to this injury, he had to miss the fourth match played in Dharamsala.
However, when the Kangaroo team came out on the field for fielding on the third day, Glenn Maxwell was seen making fun of Virat Kohli by holding his shoulder. King Kohli did not like this act of his and he blocked the Australian player on Instagram.
