What Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell did at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday night, 7 November, was no less than magic. Even in dreams, it does not seem possible to bat and play innings like this. It is impossible to play such an innings even in a video game, but the terror that Maxwell created in Mumbai will be recorded in the history of cricket for centuries. This inning should definitely be declared as the greatest inning of One Day International cricket of all time.
Glenn Maxwell fighting knock
Although many other cricketers have also played very good innings in One Day International cricket, this historic inning of Glenn Maxwell has a different meaning. He is the first player playing at number 6 or below to score a double century in One Day International cricket. Apart from this, he is the only person in the world to do this feat in the run chase. More than this, there are many reasons why this innings has been given the status of the best innings of ODI cricket.
Pat Cummins supports Glenn Maxwell
Actually, Glenn Maxwell played this inning at a time when seven wickets of the team had fallen before 100 runs and the team had to chase the score close to 300 runs. He made a partnership of 202 runs for the eighth wicket with Pat Cummins, who scored only 12 runs in the entire innings. Maxwell was successful in playing an unbeaten inning of 201 runs in 128 balls with the help of 21 fours and 10 sixes and he single-handedly took his team to the semi-finals.

Why is this inning great?
Whenever we talk about the all-time great innings of ODI cricket, we talk about the innings of 175-175 runs of Herschelle Gibbs and Kapil Dev, but when it comes to Maxwell, apart from the 201 runs, everyone will also remember that he First fielded 50 overs, also bowled and then batted for about 3 hours in the heat of Mumbai. What was even more surprising was that he was not completely fit and was not able to run. Standing at one end, he was dealing only in fours and sixes.
