I didn’t want to go out to bat… Glenn Maxwell made a big revelation

New Delhi. Australia’s star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has revealed after playing a world record innings that he is not feeling well at the moment and does not want to come to the crease to bat against the Netherlands (AUS vs NED). Maxwell scored a 40-ball century in the 24th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. This is the fastest century in World Cup history. Maxwell was adjudged player of the match for his record-breaking innings.

Right-handed batsman Glenn Maxwell said that he is a little unwell and does not want to bat in this match. According to Maxwell, ‘I’m not fully fit, I didn’t want to bat when I was in the dressing room. I was cold when I got here and I didn’t expect much from myself before coming to the crease today.

David Warner overtook Rohit Sharma to make a good entry into the top 3, with the Pakistani wicketkeeper slipping to number 5.

Australia had made a mountain of runs
Maxwell said he was not thinking too much about the century but wanted to face more balls in the last overs. After the 48th over at the time of Australia’s batting, Maxwell was playing with 75 runs in 35 balls. However, he hit two fours and three sixes in the next five balls to complete his century in 40 balls. With the help of his innings, Australia made a huge score of 399 runs for 8 wickets. In reply, the Netherlands team was bowled out for 90 runs.

‘I wanted to keep the strike to myself’
“It wasn’t really on my mind,” Maxwell said. I was thinking of going on strike in the last overs. I think I told Pat (Cummins) with five overs to go that I will try to control the innings as much as possible. I would like to have more strikes rather than taking a run. Meanwhile, Maxwell broke the world record of Aiden Markram who scored a century in 49 balls 18 days ago.
