Kings XI made short work of the 164-run target as Maxwell and David Miller (30 not out off 27 balls) took them home with an over to spare.
Maxwell's fireworks came after Ben Stokes led Rising Pune Supergiant's recovery with a blistering 50 off 332 balls, helping his team post 163 for six.
With the win, Kings XI have begun the competition on a promising note after finishing at the bottom in the previous two editions.
It was the first loss this season for Pune, who had beaten Mumbai India in their tournament opener on Thursday.
