ICC World Cup 2023: Glenn Maxwell admitted he "wasn`t expecting" to hit a record 40-ball World Cup century on Wednesday. Maxwell, nicknamed `The Big Show` for his flamboyant hitting, clubbed eight fours and eight sixes in his run blitz as Australia piled up 399-8 against the Netherlands in New Delhi.
The stunning assault bettered the record of South Africa`s Aiden Markram who blasted a century off 49 balls against Sri Lanka at the same venue 18 days ago. "It feels pretty good. I have been pretty cooked today so I wasn`t expecting much but it probably cleared my head a little bit to be able to go out there and play," said Maxwell.
