"Pretty Outrageous": Mitchell Marsh Blasts Timing Of India vs Australia T20I Series

Australian cricket team star Mitchell Marsh was not happy with the timing of the India vs Australia T20I series just days after the conclusion of the Cricket World Cup 2023. There were just four days between the final of the competition and the first game of the five-match T20I series between India and Australia. In a recent interaction, Marsh said that the players who were part of the World Cup-winning squad did not get any chance to celebrate the triumph as they had to get ready for the series. He further added that it was a tiring campaign for them and it would have been great if the players got more time to spend with their families before playing another series.

Glenn Maxwell's 'Big Show' Continues Blockbuster Run On Indian Soil

Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell continues to justify 'The Big Show' moniker with yet another record-equalling performance on the Indian soil in a winning effort against the Men in Blue in the third T20I at Guwahati on Wednesday. Maxwell continued his blockbuster run in white-ball cricket that started in the ICC Cricket World Cup, smashing an unbeaten 104 in 48 balls, with eight fours and eight sixes that helped Australia chase down a total of 223 set by India after a batting masterclass by Ruturaj Gaikwad (123 in 57 balls, with 13 fours and seven sixes). With this century, Maxwell tied Indian skipper Rohit Sharma for most T20I centuries, with a total of four. Maxwell has achieved this feat way faster than Rohit, taking just 92 innings. Also, this was his 100th T20I match.
