Glenn Maxwell's Historic 201* Against Afghanistan: A Year On

Maxwell's remarkable innings turned a dire situation into a legendary World Cup chase, securing Australia's spot in the semifinals.

Australia faced a daunting chase of 292 against Afghanistan, collapsing to 91 for 7 before Maxwell's heroic innings turned the game.
Maxwell's unbeaten 201 off 128 balls included 21 fours and 10 sixes, marking the first double century in ODI history during a chase.
Battling severe cramps, Maxwell's performance was not only a test of skill but also of endurance, as he scored 54 runs without moving his feet.
His partnership with Pat Cummins for the eighth wicket set a new ODI record, contributing significantly to Australia's victory.
The innings drew comparisons to Kapil Dev's iconic 175* in the 1983 World Cup and was praised by cricketing legends, including Virat Kohli.
