[Watch] Glenn Maxwell hits a gigantic six onto the roof of Sydney Cricket Ground during SYS vs MLS BBL 2023 clash

Melbourne Stars (MLS) captain Glenn Maxwell hit a towering six during the Big Bash League (BBL) 2023 clash against Sydney Sixers (SYS). The match took place at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday, December 26. The ball hit the roof of one of the stands at the stadium and then fell into the crowd.

The moment transpired during the seventh over of the second innings of the match. Maxwell smashed the length delivery from Sydney pacer Jackson Bird with all his might and sent it soaring into the sky.

The ball went high and traveled 92 meters before hitting the roof of the stands on the leg side. However, the bowler got his payback immediately as Maxwell perished on the very next ball, trying to continue his aggressive play style. Melbourne Stars went on to win the match by chasing down 155 in 19.3 overs.

Maxwell's IPL franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore, gave a glimpse of Glenn Maxwell's massive six to their fans by sharing the video on their X handle. They captioned it:

"That one looked like it was on its way to colonise the moon…. almost! Talk about a top tier hit. "
