During the Australia-Netherlands clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first. David Warner, in the midst of an exceptional form, led the way with the bat, scoring his second consecutive century.
Nevertheless, the match’s standout moment was Maxwell’s remarkable century in just 40 balls, setting a new record. After reaching this milestone, he indulged in a celebratory spree that quickly went viral on the internet.
In the 49th over’s fifth delivery, Maxwell, who had been toying with Netherlands’ bowlers, smashed Bas de Leede’s chest-high full toss over the fine leg boundary for a six, thus etching his name in the history books with his 40-ball century.
The swashbuckling all-rounder, who had been enduring a lean spell with the bat, was visibly elated after achieving this feat. He dropped his bat and let out a triumphant roar, embracing skipper Pat Cummins before removing his helmet to acknowledge the roaring crowd.
Maxwell’s celebration continued with a “rock-the-baby” move, encapsulating the sheer joy of his remarkable achievement.
