During the 2nd T20I against West Indies in Adelaide on Sunday, Glenn Maxwell demonstrated his prowess by notching his fifth T20 International century, thereby equaling Rohit Sharma’s record. Maxwell’s innings was a spectacular display of power-hitting as he amassed a blistering 120 runs off just 55 deliveries, inclusive of 12 boundaries and eight sixes. From the outset, Maxwell showcased his aggressive intent, consistently finding the ropes with an array of exquisite strokes, reaching his fifty in just 25 balls.
His partnership with Marcus Stoinis, who contributed 16 runs, yielded 82 runs, before the arrival of Tim David (31 off 14), another big-hitter, who joined forces with Maxwell to stitch together a formidable 95-run stand.
