He was surprised by what he saw of Glenn Maxwell in the match against Afghanistan, and praised the Australian all-rounder for his tireless efforts despite suffering from cramps.
“I don’t want to compare the two because they are from different eras, but Maxwell’s performance is on par with Kapil’s.” Nearly 100 runs without legs It’s just incredible to do. . Some of the shots he played against talented bowlers were downright outrageous. ”
“The chase is probably a little more difficult, but keep in mind that Pat Cummins only scored 12 of the 202 runs he added with Maxwell, and there was no competition between the wickets at all. It didn’t happen, I still can’t believe it.”said Krishnamachari Srikanth
Australia, the five-time world champions, looked set to lose toAfghanistanfor the first time in their history, scoring 292 runs down for 7 for 91. However, Glenn Maxwell had a different opinion in the midfield and the hard-hitting all-rounder scored an astonishing 201 runs with no outs, contributing to his team’s stunning victory.
