Raman, 26, was born and bruoght up in Melbourne and traces her roots back to India. She is a Melbourne-based pharmacist and even helped Maxwell during his mental health issues and it was because of her advice that Maxwell took a small break from the game last year.

"I think I was pretty cooked. I decided to take some time off and a big reason as to why I took that time away was because I was mentally and physically ruined from I think it was eight months on the road and living out of a suitcase," Maxwell had said.

"It was actually my partner who suggested I speak to someone, she was the first person who noticed it. Once I had that initial conversation it was a huge weight off my shoulders."

Since then, Maxwell has gone from strength to strength and led the Melbourne Stars to the Big Bash League 2019-20 final.

Maxwell as also selected for the Australia side for the South Africa series but was eventually ruled out because of a surgery on his left elbow. He is expected to return to competitive cricket during the IPL, where he was picked up by Kings XI Punjab for a huge sum of INR 10.75 crore.
