Former RCB star slams monstrous 122-metre six in the Melbourne Derby during BBL 2024-25 [Watch]

Melbourne Stars all-rounder Glenn Maxwell slogged a mammoth 122-metre six in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 clash against the Melbourne Renegades at the Marvel Stadium on Sunday, January 12. The right-handed batter sent a full delivery by Kane Richardson to the mid-wicket stand in the first innings.

Maxwell's monstrous hit comes only a week after Hilton Cartwright's stunning 121-metre hit in the reverse fixture at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

Maxwell had to play the rescue act after the Stars were reduced to 45-4 in the seventh over. He was left stranded as the collapse worsened to 75-7. He played a lone hand in the second half of the innings, trying to take as much strike as possible, leaving Usama Mir at the other end.

Heading into the death overs, Maxwell was in red-hot form with momentum by his side. He kickstarted the 17th over with a boundary, and then scored the gigantic six the very next ball to stretch the total. Have a look at the hit right here:

Maxwell recorded another six off the penultimate ball of the over, and then scored three sixes in a row in the next over by Will Sutherland.

The all-rounder was starved of strike in the penultimate over bowled by Jacob Bethell. Facing Kane Richardson in the final over of the innings, he chopped one onto the stumps off the very first ball to end his knock. Maxwell's 52-ball 90 included four fours and 10 sixes at a strike rate of 173.08. His knock helped Melbourne Stars put on 165 on the board.

Maxwell scored an unbeaten 58 in the Stars' win over the Sydney Sixers, and was named player of the match. The knock came right after he was snubbed by the selectors for Australia's upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka in the subcontinent.
