Glenn Maxwell, aka ‘The Big Show,’ made his international cricket debut for Australia in 2012 and quickly established himself as one of the most potent hitters in white-ball cricket.
He amassed 2,897 runs in T20 Internationals and 3,990 runs in One Day Internationals. Maxwell’s strike rate of 126.70 is thought to be the greatest among batsmen who have scored at least 1,500 runs in ODI cricket.

The amazing double century he achieved against Afghanistan in Mumbai during the 2023 ODI World Cup is one of the most memorable innings of his international career.
Throughout his career, Maxwell became one of Australia’s most influential white-ball players and received individual awards from the International Cricket Council.
