The 24-year-old Maxwell has had modest success at international level — he has 197 runs in nine ODIs at 28.14 and four wickets at 58.50. And in nine twenty20 internationals, he has 47 runs at 15.66 and five scalps at 25.60.
He has, however, gained a reputation for being a hard striker of the ball and a handy off-spinner in domestic cricket.
“He is an upcoming youngster. Maxwell can bat and bowl his off-spin well. He is also a tremendous fielder and we needed such a cricketer in the side,” said Nita Ambani of Mumbai Indians.
In contrast two marquee players — Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke — did not fetch more than their base price of $ 400,000. Mumbai Indians was pleased with two batting legends Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting being in the same side while Pune Warriors was contemplating making the quick-thinking Clarke the captain.
