Australian batter Glenn Maxwell produced an absolute peach of pure hitting masterclass in the 2024 Major League Cricket (MLC) Qualifier against San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) in Dallas on July 25. During the game, the Big Show unleashed his fury by smacking as many as five maximums.
In the process, he launched a humongous six, in what was a sight to behold. The experienced campaigner destroyed the in-form Pakistan spinner Hassan Khan, by hitting a 103m six towards the long-on region. The left-arm spinner who was bowling so well in the first two overs just got his length wrong.
Hassan Khan who conceded just 4 runs and took two wickets until then, made a mistake by tossing up a fullish delivery. In response, Maxwell generated immense bat speed against the delivery only to send the ball way beyond the boundary rope. The video clip of the same has been doing the rounds.
