3 records that Glenn Maxwell broke during his 120* vs WI in the 2nd T20I

In the second T20I against the West Indies in Adelaide, Glenn Maxwell unleashed a masterclass, smashing an unbeaten 120 from just 55 balls.

Arriving at the crease with Australia in a spot of bother at 57/2, Maxwell took charge, stitching together crucial partnerships and accelerating the scoring rate with breathtaking ease.

His fifty came off a mere 25 balls, and he never looked back, reaching his century in style with a six in a total of 50 balls. With his brute power and conviction over his hitting prowess, Maxwell plummeted 12 fours and eight maximums.

This remarkable knock not only propelled Australia to a mammoth 241/4 but also earned his side an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. Australia restricted the Caribbean unit to 207/9, with Marcus Stoinis picking up a three-wicket haul.

With his latest century, Glenn Maxwell shattered a slew of records. Here is a compilation of three such records.
