RCB vs SRH: Why Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell are Not Playing?

Mohammed Siraj, although is there as an impact player, but as RCB are bowling first, he will not be taking any part in this match. Glenn Maxwell doesn't have any chance to play in this match as well.

The reason why both Siraj and Maxwell have been left of the first team is due to their non-performance. Mohammed Siraj has only picked up four wickets and six matches for the Bengaluru side so far with an economy of more than 10.

On the other hand, the veteran Australian Glenn Maxwell has managed only 32 runs with the bat in six innings, with an average of just more than 5. He has picked up 4 wickets with the ball, but the Australian's lack of impact with the bat means he has to find the sidelines for this match.

The duo need to step up if they get an opportunity in the coming matches. RCB are currently languishing at the bottom and both Siraj and Maxwell will have to revive themselves to rejuvenate their team in the remainder of the season.
