Maxwell’s century pushed Australia to victory

Turning to international cricket, an electrifying performance took place as Glenn Maxwell led Australia to a remarkable victory in a challenging chase of 223 runs against India in Guwahati during the third T20I.

Maxwell’s unbeaten century, achieved in just 47 balls, matched the rapid pace set earlier in the series by Aaron Finch and Josh Inglis, establishing a new record for the fastest century by an Australian in men’s T20 Internationals.

In addition to this feat, Maxwell equaled Rohit Sharma’s record for the most centuries in men’s T20Is, securing his fourth century in this format. Notably, his previous T20I century against India occurred in Bengaluru in 2019, contributing to another successful Australian run-chase.
