Cricket World Cup 2023: Ex-India Star's WWE-Inspired Tribute To Glenn Maxwell Sets Internet On Fire

It was a special knock from Australian cricket team all-rounder Glenn Maxwell as he scored an unbeaten 201 to guide his side to victory against Afghanistan on Tuesday. The victory guaranteed Australia's spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals and both fans and experts were left in awe of the explosive batting on display by Maxwell. Former Indian cricket team opener Wasim Jaffer took to social media to pay a WWE-inspired tribute to the Australia batter with a meme featuring The Undertaker. The meme went viral quickly on social media with users coming up with their own hilarious replies to Jaffer's post.

At 91-7, chasing 292, Australia were all set to join title-holders England, 1996 champions Pakistan and 1992 winners Sri Lanka as yet another notable Afghanistan scalp at this World Cup.

Crucially, however, recalled all-rounder Maxwell was dropped soon afterwards on 33 when Mujeeb Ur Rahman somehow floored a simple chance at short fine leg off fellow spinner Noor Ahmad.

"It would've been nice if it was chanceless, I've lived a very charmed life out there," said Maxwell, appropriately nicknamed 'The Big Show'.
