Sachin, Sehwag, and Ben Stokes: Everyone Goes Gaga After Seeing the Amazing Knock of Glenn Maxwell in the ODI World Cup 2023 Clash Against Afghanistan
at the Wankhede Stadium Never has a team successfully chased a target of more than 280. And it looked to remain true on Tuesday evening, when Australia were seven down for just 91 in their chase of 292. Afghanistan hence stood three wickets—just three—away from the biggest ever World Cup upset and an almost certain berth in the semifinals. Single-handedly, Glenn Maxwell did something that helped Team Australia defeat Afghanistan by three wickets and also helped the team secure their place in the semi-finals of the mega tournament.
The world of cricket went gaga over Maxwell's performance at the Wankhede as the likes of Ben Stokes and legendary batters Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag hailed it as the “best ODI knock ever”.
Virender Sehwag, while praising the amazing knock of Glenn Maxwell, wrote, "I saw this coming. 200 in a run-chase, one of the all-time great one-day innings by Maxwell. @Gmaxi_32 was a man possessed of great support by @patcummins30. An innings to remember for a long, long time. #AUSvsAFG whereas Sachin Tendulkar wrote, “A wonderful knock by @IZadran18 to put Afghanistan in a good position. They started well in the second half and played good cricket for 70 overs, but the last 25 overs from @Gmaxi_32 were more than enough to change their fortune. From Max pressure to Max performance! This has been the best ODI knock I’ve seen in my life. #AUSvAFG
Star batsman of England Ben Stokes also praised Glenn Maxwell as he wrote, “My goodness, Maxi,” and so on.
