2. Glenn Maxwell, Australia, ODI strike-rate 121.30

Glenn Maxwell is known for his unorthodox shot selection

One of the quickest scorers in the world, the Australian batting all-rounder, Glenn Maxwell has changed the perspective of the cricketing world towards quick scoring with his unorthodox play and clean hitting.

Melbourne-born Maxwell came into limelight with a 19-ball half-century against Tasmania, the fastest fifty in Australia’s one-day domestic history. His ability to play or make unconventional shots are like bread and butter to him.

He can create a shot out of nowhere and can leave awestruck by his adventures. His strong wrists allow him to play down the ground with ease, comfortable pull shots, reverse sweep quite often and an off drive for six. When he is on song, he is the only batsman bowler wouldn’t like to bowl at.

He offers a complete package especially in the shorter format, fantastic fieldsman, handy off-spinner and a swashbuckling striker of the ball. 51-ball century in 2015 World Cup against Sri-Lanka was the fastest century by an Australian in ODI cricket.

Being in and out of the ODI squad, Maxwell struggling to make a comeback but the Australian Board have a firm belief that he would play a major role in the success of Australia in the upcoming World Cup in England.
