I apologised to Rahul: Glenn Maxwell

SYDNEY: Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who hammered a 19-ball 45 against India in the first ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday jokingly tweeted that he apologised to his Kings XI Punjab skipper KL Rahul after his quickfire innings.

"I apologised to him while I was batting (emoticons of face with tears of joy, a lion face and folded hands) #kxipfriends Red heart," Maxwell tweeted in response to Jimmy Neesham's response to a fan's tweet where KL Rahul's face is super-imposed on a picture, showing him surprised over both KXIP players, Neesham and Maxwell performing for their countries.

While Maxwell thrashed Indian bowlers on Friday, Neesham's 24-ball 48 helped the Kiwis beat West Indies by five wickets in a T20 International on the same day across the Tasman sea in Auckland. IANS
