Glenn Maxwell Creates History in T20 Cricket, Equals Rohit Sharma's Record with a Rare Triple Feat

Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has etched his name in cricketing history by achieving a rare triple milestone in T20 cricket, equaling Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's record of most T20I centuries. Maxwell accomplished this incredible feat while playing for Washington Freedom against the Los Angeles Knight Riders in Major League Cricket. Maxwell smashed his eighth T20I century, matching Rohit Sharma’s tally in the list of most T20I hundreds. Displaying a masterclass in power-hitting, he completed his century in just 48 balls, hammering 13 sixes and 2 fours.

But Maxwell's heroics didn't stop there. With this performance, he also crossed the 10,500-run mark in T20 cricket and boasts 178 wickets to his name in the shortest format. With this, he becomes the first player in the world to achieve this unique triple record:

• 10,000+ T20 runs

• 150+ T20 wickets

• More than one T20 century

Previously, cricketing stalwarts like Kieron Pollard and Shoaib Malik had achieved the double record of 10,000+ runs and 150+ wickets, but none had accomplished all three milestones together—until now. Maxwell’s family was in attendance to witness this memorable moment, adding an emotional touch to the explosive performance. Reflecting on his innings, Maxwell said: "I started very slowly, but then my batting picked up. I’m glad I was able to take the match to the end. It was a special moment in front of my family."

This landmark innings also makes Maxwell the first Australian and ninth cricketer overall to score a double century in ODIs, and the third batsman to notch a century in a World Cup match. Although Maxwell has recently retired from ODI cricket, he continues to dominate in T20s. With this latest achievement, Glenn Maxwell cements his place as one of the most dynamic and impactful players in modern T20 cricket.
