Mohan Deshmukh is an avid Glenn Maxwell fan who always had his loyalties divided when Royal Challengers Bangalore played against his favourite Mumbai Indians in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL). But Tuesday was a day to remember as he was delirious with joy watching his hero swat deliveries across the line to and over the boundary.
“I can’t put it into words. My excitement levels are sky-high right now. Maxie is such a pleasure to watch. His innings tonight gave me butterflies. I have never enjoyed a cricket match this much before. The audience cheering ‘Maxie, Maxie’ gave me goosebumps,” Mohan, bubbling over with excitement, told Mid-Day.
