Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell has claimed that he has reported "certain untoward things" during the IPL to the anti-corruption officials while refuting a recent investigative documentary's insinuation that he could be involved in spot fixing. An Al Jazeera documentary on corruption in cricket alleged that Australian players were involved in spot fixing during the 2017 Ranchi Test against India, in which Maxwell made his maiden Test century after being recalled.

Even as there was no direct reference to the all-rounder in the video, the match footage used in the documentary indicated that Maxwell was one of two Australian players being accused. He confirmed to 'SEN radio' that the aired footage was of his batting. "I was shocked. I was a bit hurt by it as well. To have these allegations about your involvement in a game where you've only got happy memories about it, great memories...I still remember the feeling after hugging Steven Smith after getting my maiden Test hundred. To have that tarnished by these allegations was pretty devastating and obviously there's absolutely no truth to it whatsoever.
