Glenn Maxwell's Double-Century Delight in Mumbai against Afghanistan

Glenn Maxwell, Australia’s explosive middle-order batsman, put on an incredible show at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, possibly producing the greatest ODI innings in history. Ibrahim Zadran powered Afghanistan to a respectable 291/5 against tough opposition with his remarkable century.

Afghanistan seemed to have the advantage early on, as their spinners easily took out half of Australia’s batting order. With the score at 91/7, the Australian side was having trouble against the pacers from Afghanistan. Nevertheless, one man stood out as a ray of hope despite all of this adversity: Glenn Maxwell.

Good fortune smiled upon Maxwell as Afghanistan rejected him twice and reversed an LBW ruling in his favor, matching his valor. Maxwell led a passionate Australian comeback, unfazed. He stood bravely on one leg and pounded the ball to all corners of the ground, without even a back or leg injury stopping him.

With an incredible 21 boundaries and ten massive sixes, including three in the pivotal 47th over, Maxwell’s daring knock helped Australia to an incredible triumph with an incredible unbeaten score of 201*.

Arguably the best ever in ODI history, this performance may even go beyond the annals of cricket history. It truly is a “Madmax” moment for the ages and serves as evidence of Glenn Maxwell’s unrelenting resolve.
