Glenn Maxwell‘s monster innings will be etched in the memories of cricket fans forever. When Australia were on the brink of a humiliating defeat to Afghanistan, Maxwell entered the crease and before anyone could know what was happening, the Big Show single-handedly guided his team to victory with his unbeaten double century on Tuesday (November 7) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

After Afghanistan posted 291/5, their bowlers started wreaking havoc as wickets fell like a pack of cards. Before anyone could grasp what was happening, Australia lost seven wickets for just 91 runs within 19 overs.

The watchers of the game started foreseeing a memorable win for Afghanistan, who have become the cynosure of everyone’s eyes in the 2023 ODI World Cup. But Maxwell had other things on his mind.

With a whopping 21 fours and 10 sixes, Maxwell, while battling a cramped leg, produced something that would go down in the history of the World Cup as one of the greatest run chases. With a six when five runs were needed, Maxwell hammered the highest score of the World Cup, a 128-ball 201-run knock.

Netizens in awe after watching Glenn Maxwell’s heroics

For the cricket fans, some incredible batting like this was a treat to the eyes. Some of them are saying Glenn Maxwell’s 201* is the greatest innings in the history of the World Cup. They also found it hilarious after seeing Aussi skipper Pat Cummins batting throughout Maxwell’s stay at the crease but only contributing 12 runs after playing 68 runs.
