It was mind blowing hitting from Maxwell, who put on 202 runs with skipper Pat Cummins and helped the five-time champions chase the score down and qualify for the semifinals of the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup.

Social media bowed down to the all-rounder’s batting exploits. Here are some of the best reactions:

Maxwell’s place in history just got guaranteed. It has to be the greatest white ball innings played
