Australia powerhouse batsman Glenn Maxwell was on song in the second T20I against West Indies on Sunday in Adelaide. The ‘Big Show’ lit up the Adelaide Oval with a breath-taking 25-ball half-century as Australia marched on for a big total while batting first.
This knock from Glenn Maxwell included him going after his RCB teammate fast bowler Alzarri Joseph. The right-hander crunched Joseph for a gigantic 109-meter six, sending the ball in the second tier at the Adelaide Oval.
In six weeks, Glenn Maxwell and Alzarri Joseph will play in the same team in the IPL for RCB. For now, though, the Aussie star simply wanted to smash the leather off the balls from the West Indies fast bowler.
On the second ball of the 12th over, as Joseph bowled a length delivery on the off-stump, Maxwell lined him up, and with a big swing of the bat, he deposited the delivery over deep mid-wicket, clobbering it deep into the stands for a monstrous 109-meter sixer.
