#2 Glenn Maxwell’s onslaught

The mercurial Glenn Maxwell was simply scintillating at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday evening. The all-rounder remained unbeaten on 113 and carted the Indian bowlers all across the park.

The right-hander had an answer to every question the Indians posed and he seemed to be a step ahead of the bowlers at all times. Though one could argue that India could’ve been a bit more proactive in their plans, taking any credit away from Maxwell for a breathtaking innings would be extremely harsh.

Over the years, scores of fans and pundits have criticised the all-rounder for his eccentricity, yet on the days he gets going, there aren’t many better spectacles in world cricket.

Blessed with the attribute to pull off outrageous shots, the batsman has mesmerised and frustrated in equal measure. However, a fit and firing Maxwell is capable of single-handedly turning games on its head.

Hence, the Aussies would hope that he can continue his pyrotechnics with the World Cup on the horizon.
