In a jaw-dropping efficiency, Glenn Maxwell lit up the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai with a record-breaking double century, carrying his workforce to victory from the brink of defeat in opposition to Afghanistan.

Stepping up when Australia was in dire straits at 91 for 7, Glenn Maxwell delivered an unbelievable efficiency, blasting an unbeaten 201 runs off 128 balls, together with 21 boundaries and 10 sixes, to guide Australia to an exhilarating three-wicket win over Afghanistan and safe a spot within the semifinals.

The cricket world will ceaselessly bear in mind this unbelievable knock of Glenn Maxwell. He embodied the spirit of a warrior, battling excruciating cramps, visibly struggling throughout runs, and exhibiting unwavering dedication amid the ache.

Upon witnessing that extraordinary efficiency, the previous head coach of Crew India, Ravi Shastri, was overcome with emotion and drew parallels between Glenn Maxwell’s double century and Kapil Dev’s iconic 175-run knock in opposition to Zimbabwe throughout the 1983 World Cup.

Right here’s what Ravi Shastri wrote on Twitter:

“Gorgeous. Jogs my memory of Kaps of 83.”
