Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: T20I team of the year

#4 Glenn Maxwell – Australia

Sri Lanka will never forget Maxwell’s special knock against them

There is no doubting Maxwell as an absolute matchwinner in limited overs cricket. There are very few who can invent shots like he does and it helps that he can roll his arm over with the ball as well.

Just when you thought Guptill’s strike-rate couldn’t be bettered, Maxwell goes and does just that. He almost scores 2 runs a ball, simply frightening. In a span of 3 days in September, he would have the watching world gripped as he ripped the Lankans to shreds on their own turf. His unbeaten 145 at Pallekelle is the second highest score in T20I history.
