Australia and Royal Challengers Bangalore all-rounder Glenn Maxwell on Monday became the fifth batter of the season to complete 500 runs in the tournament while playing in the all important Eliminator of the IPL 2021 against Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah.

Maxwell, who made his debut for the franchise in this edition, was shy of 2 runs to reach the 500 run mark before this match. He reached the milestone figure in the 11th over of RCB's proceedings to become the first player from the Bangalore based side this year to achieve these numbers.

Maxwell is the fifth highest run-getter of the season behind PBKS's KL Rahul (626), CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad (603), DC's Shikhar Dhawan (551) and CSK's Faf du Plessis (547).
