It was a winter morning in Tunbridge Wells in 1983 and a balmy evening at the Wankhede Stadium 40 years later, but the same passion for victory and the same fireworks in the form of runs with the bat were forever recorded in the history books of cricket. At that time it was Kapil Dev and now it was Glenn Maxwell. In that World Cup match against Zimbabwe in England, India had lost five wickets for 17 runs, while in this World Cup against Afghanistan, Australia had lost seven wickets for 91 runs. The similarities do not end here.
Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said after the match, 'I was sitting with George Bailey and Adam Zampa was coming in and out. He was nervous, but everyone else did not get up from their places. Glenn Maxwell gave a miraculous victory to the Australian team by scoring unbeaten 201 runs in 128 balls. Glenn Maxwell made a record unbeaten partnership of 202 runs with Australian captain Pat Cummins. Glenn Maxwell destroyed the Afghanistan team. At one time, Australia's 7 wickets had fallen at a total score of just 91 runs, but after this Glenn Maxwell limped and played an explosive inning of unbeaten 201 runs on 128 balls. Glenn Maxwell's innings included 21 fours and 10 sixes.
