Cricketers XI with their birthday on 14 October

#4 Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell is a dangerous hitter of the cricket ball

Perhaps the most devastating batsman in world cricket right now, Glenn Maxwell was born on this day in 1988 in the Kew suburb of Melbourne. Although Maxwell has struggled to maintain a permanent spot in the Australian team, his exciting strokeplay is one of the reasons why the selectors keep backing him for the limited-overs formats.

The 28-year old’s ability to smash the ball out of the park is unmatched and the proof of this lies in his thunderous ODI and T20I strike rates of 125.74 and 167.41 respectively. Of late, Glenn Maxwell has shown quite a lot of maturity with the bat in hand and it is a good sign not only for him but also for his team.
