Fans on Twitter reacted after Australian batter Glenn Maxwell slammed a magnificent double century in the ICC World Cup 2023 against Afghanistan. The all-rounder won the game for his team from the jaws of defeat at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Glenn Maxwell played one of the best innings in the history of the ICC World Cup and single-handedly won his side the game when they were down and dusted. Chasing the target of 292 runs, Australia were 91/7 and it seemed that wouldn’t win.
But Glenn Maxwell had other plans. The all-rounder played a staggering innings and it’s fair to say that such kind of knock would be hard to witness again. The right-hander early in his innings was dropped twice but after that, he made sure that he made the opposition pay for it.
After being watchful initially, Glenn Maxwell returned to his normal self and took an attack to Afghanistan bowlers. He outplayed the spinners of the opposition and took them to the cleaners and hit them all over the park. He brought up his century in the 76 balls and after that, he cramped up badly.
Despite battling severe pain, Glenn Maxwell made sure that he gave everything for his team. He wasn’t able to move his feet at all but even after that, he hit big sixes without any foot movement. The all-rounder didn’t stop at all and played the best innings by an Australian batter in ODIs.
Glenn Maxwell brought up his double century as he scored an unbeaten 201 runs to take his team home. He played 128 balls and batted with a strike rate of around 158. He slammed 21 fours and 10 sixes in his innings to take his team to the semi-final of the tournament.

This is indeed an all timer. 3 days ago, I thought that it will be difficult to top Fakhar Zaman's inns as the best hundred of this WC, but Maxwell has hit one for the ages.
This has to be among Top 3 ODI knocks of all time! https://t.co/d3kLkQwcPt
