This season, we might actually see the Kohli of 2016 where he got almost 1000 runs in the IPL season,” Gavaskar mentioned throughout a Gameplan episode aired on Star Sports.

Last season, he was in a team with Virat Kohli and ABD, two of the finest batsmen that the game has seen and so maybe he lifted his game. He raised the level of his game to try to keep up with that. If he says to himself I am going to do what ABD has done for RCB, then RCB could be in for a real magic season from Maxwell,” Gavaskar mentioned.
