how to avoid transposition to maroczy  bind, either with e6 or g6? i dont play this variation of sicilian so it would be pointless to allow this, maybe e5? however if there is sth else, plz give me some recommendation

the most successful line in GM games here would be ...Bg4.

..e5 is also fine but I like Bg4 better

i agree.in that line d4 is very weak. white knight covers the square but blacks lightsquared bishop can never use the black square at d4 so get rid of that useless bishop for whites useful knight
