Australia’s star batter Glenn Maxwell produced a historic performance to guide his side to a brilliant comeback win over Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023 in Mumbai on Tuesday. Glenn Maxwell showed great resilience with the bat as he scored an unbeaten on 201 off 128 deliveries. It was the first double ton for the veteran Australian cricketer and even back spasms could not deter his explosive batting at the Wankhede Stadium.
Glenn Maxwell’s antics with the bat meant that Disney+ Hotstar went on to witness a viewership of 2.6 crores which is the highest for the Non-Indian games.
People were quick to write us off: Glenn Maxwell
“It was hot while fielding today, I haven’t done a lot of exercise in the heat, it got a hold on me today. I wanted to stay back and get some movement (on my legs). Not too much (when asked about plans at 92/7), just stick to the batting plans as much as possible, for me, still be positive, still look to play my shots, that LBW, it was going just above (the stumps), probably that made me be more proactive.”
“A hint of swing and nip (off the surface), as it happens here under lights, they bowled beautifully to exploit that. It would have been nice if it was a chanceless knock, but I had my chances, to make the most of it tonight was something I can be proud of. Amazing, after the first two games, people were quick to write us off. The belief was always there (as a team), after today, it would have gone a bit higher,” Maxwell said after the match.
