Owen was included in place of Maxwell
Let us tell you that Punjab Kings’ star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell played in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders but he was unsuccessful once again. After that he got injured somewhere and then Glenn Maxwell could not play in the next match. Maxwell recently suffered a finger fracture during the practice session, due to which he is out of the tournament. But now his replacement has been announced.
Who is Mitch Owen?
Mitch Owen from Tasmania has scored 646 runs in 34 T20 matches, including two centuries, with a top score of 108. He has also taken 10 wickets. Recently, he played for Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2025. Punjab Kings have signed him for ₹3 crore. His aggressive batting and all-round skills are expected to boost the team’s middle order.
Glenn Maxwell had a poor IPL 2025 season with the Punjab Kings. He scored only 48 runs in 6 matches, with a highest score of 30 against the Rajasthan Royals. His average was just 8.20, and he got out for single-digit scores in four games.
His contribution in bowling was also limited, taking 4 wickets. However, his performance lacked consistency. In a match against the Gujarat Titans, he was trapped LBW off the first ball while attempting a reverse sweep, his 19th duck in the IPL. This is the record for most ducks in league history.
