Glenn Maxwell has been an explosive middle-order batsman since his debut
Glenn Maxwell has not been a consistent performer for Australia over the years but has time and again proved his worth by playing some breathtaking cameos. He possesses a wide range of unconventional shots like the reverse sweeps in his repertoire which he executes with an utmost ease.

His capability to play a vast range of unorthodox shots allows him to score at a brisk pace even though he is not a powerful striker of a cricket ball like Russell or other power hitters of this generation.
In spite of having abundant talent, Maxwell has failed to cement his place in the Australian line-up owing to his lack of consistency. He has played 84 ODI's till date and scored 2181 runs at an average of 32.41 with an impressive strike-rate of 121.30 which is the highest right now among the players who scored more than 2000 ODI runs.
