Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell grabbed a stunning one-handed catch off his own bowling to end Rohit Sharma’s stay at the crease in IND vs AUS 3rd ODI at Rajkot. The Indian skipper was taking on the Australian bowlers and was nearing his century when Maxwell pulled off a brilliant catch.
The event took place in the 21st over. The Australian all-rounder bowled a quicker delivery which Rohit tried to hit straight over the bowler’s head. However, Maxwell, who was looking to move out of the way, just put his right hand up and the ball stuck. It happened so quickly that even Maxwell couldn’t believe that he completed the catch.

While Maxwell couldn’t contribute much with bat on his return to cricket, he has been Australia’s best with the ball in the ongoing match, taking all 3 wickets that has fallen so far. The 34-year old also picked the wickets of Washington Sundar and Virat Kohli.
Notably, India is chasing a mammoth 353-run in 3rd ODI to complete a whitewash in 3-match ODI series against Australia. Earlier, Half-centuries from Australia’s top 4 – David Warner (56), Mitchell Marsh (96), Steve Smith (74) and Marnus Labuchagne (72) propelled Australia to 352 for 7 in 50 overs after Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat in Rajkot.
