India vs AUS 2019, T20I: 3 major takeaways from the series

Glenn "Big Show" Maxwell lit up the series with some outstanding batting

Glenn "Big Show" Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell can single-handedly win games for his side. His ferocious, attacking style of batting can make any bowling attack look weak and fragile. What has stunted his career thus far has been his inconsistency and some shoddy shot selection.

With the likes of Marcus Stoinis and D'Arcy Short in reasonable knick though, all the pressure to do the scoring wasn't solely on Glenn Maxwell in this series. Yet, what stood out was the calculated manner in which he went about both his knocks.

There were very few shots which can be categorized as the rush of blood shots, barring his dismissal at Vizag. That’s commendable for someone whose game revolves around hitting big.

With his team chasing a daunting 191 runs at Bengaluru, Glenn Maxwell went about his game without too much fuss. He was assisted by having D'Arcy Short and then Peter Handscomb brilliantly fielding, ensuring that Maxi got back on strike quickly.

Matthew Hayden in the commentary box mentioned that Maxwell has it in him to finish off games. He wanted the experienced all-rounder to take complete responsibility and win games for his side.

Well, he may have missed out in Vizag, but he sure did make up for that with a scintillating display of batsmanship under pressure to score an unbeaten 113 runs to help the Aussies seal the series 2-0 at Bengaluru.
