Glenn Maxwell's Massive 122m Six Steers Melbourne Stars to Victory with Stunning 90-Run Knock from 75/7 Rescue mission in BBL

Glenn Maxwell showcased his incredible form on Sunday with a remarkable performance against Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League. The dynamic batsman smashed a sensational 90 runs off just 52 balls to rescue his team from a tight spot. One of the highlights of his explosive innings was a breathtaking shot that left both the commentators and the crowd in awe at Melbourne's stadium.

Maxwell’s moment of brilliance came in the 16th over, when he sent a Kane Richardson delivery soaring into the second tier of the stadium. Richardson bowled a full ball just outside off stump, but Maxwell’s powerful response was nothing short of extraordinary.

The Australian all-rounder smashed the ball high over deep midwicket, sending it flying a monstrous 122 meters. The Hawkeye meter kept rising, confirming the impressive distance of the strike.

Watch:

In the very next over, Maxwell unleashed a hat-trick of sixes against Will Sutherland. The first delivery of the 18th over saw Sutherland bowl a high full toss, dangerously close to being above the waist. Despite the bottom hand slipping off his bat, Maxwell made no mistake, launching the ball over deep square leg for a massive six. The Renegades’ bowler was fortunate not to be called for a no-ball, but Maxwell wasn’t done yet.

Sutherland’s second delivery was once again a high full toss, and this time, Maxwell punished it even harder, sending the ball flying 95 meters over deep midwicket. Still, the umpires did not call a no-ball, and Maxwell was visibly in disbelief. But he remained undeterred, and on the third delivery, a short ball from Sutherland was pulled over deep midwicket for another six, completing his sensational hat-trick of sixes.

Maxwell’s destructive innings, which included 10 towering sixes and 4 boundaries, eventually came to an end when Kane Richardson delivered a perfect back-of-a-length ball, causing Maxwell to under-edge it onto his stumps. The Australian all-rounder was dismissed for 90, having played a blistering knock that helped the Stars recover from a precarious 75/7 to post a competitive total of 165.

Maxwell received a well-deserved standing ovation from the crowd as he walked off.
