From Sachin Tendulkar To R Ashwin, Cricket Stars React As Glenn Maxwell Registers "Best ODI Knock"

Following Glenn Maxwell's historic double ton, cricketers from all over the world took to social media to express their admiration for what was possibly one of the best ODI innings ever. Maxwell's historic double ton, the first-ever by an Australian in ODIs, lifted Aussies from a troublesome situation at 91/7 during a run-chase of 292 against Afghanistan and helped them script a miraculous three-wicket win at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Maxwell's Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise drew comparisons with Virat Kohli's 82* against Pakistan at Melbourne in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which also came during a tense run-chase of 160.

Indian legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar called the innings the "best ODI knock".

"A wonderful knock by @IZadran18to put Afghanistan in a good position. They started well in the 2nd half and played good cricket for 70 overs but the last 25 overs from @Gmaxi_32 was more than enough to change their fortune. From Max pressure to Max performance! This has been the best ODI knock I've seen in my life. #AUSvAFG," tweeted Sachin.
