Glenn Maxwell was simply in his best explosive form on Sunday, hitting one of the best shots of the season to rescue his team from a disastrous position while batting for Perth in the Big Bash League match against the Melbourne Renegades, scoring 90 runs off just 52 balls. With that breathtaking power-hitting, Maxwell played one of the memorable shots of the season and left everyone present at the Melbourne stadium- the crowd as well as the commentators-in complete awe.
Then it was the 16th over when Maxwell came to face Kane Richardson. A full delivery just outside the off-stump was dealt with sheer brilliance as Maxwell thundered a shot over deep midwicket, launching the ball an incredible 122 meters into the second tier. The massive distance was confirmed by the Hawkeye tracker and became the highlight of his innings.
122 METRES!

Maxwell helped take the Melbourne Stars from a precarious 75/7 to a respectable total of 165, which included 10 colossal sixes and 4 boundaries. Maxwell’s innings came to a close with Richardson returning along the back-of-a-length delivery, which Maxwell under-edged onto his stumps.
When Maxwell walked back to the pavilion, the crowd clapped in appreciation of the brilliance of the game-changing knock.
