It has been nine months since Glenn Maxwell played his match-winning double-century against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup, a knock that still gives fans chills. Maxwell defied injury to lead Australia to victory from a losing position, securing a semi-final berth. Meanwhile, the Sports Today website released a list of the greatest ODI knocks of all time, with Maxwell’s innings taking the top spot.

Glenn Maxwell’s 201 named as The Greatest ODI Knock

In the list, Glenn Maxwell’s unbeaten 201 off just 128 balls was named the greatest ODI knock of all time. It was a miraculous innings, as Australia teetered on the brink of defeat at 91 for 7. A key moment came when Maxwell was dropped by Mujeeb Ur Rahman on 33, a mistake that turned the game around.

Despite battling severe leg cramps, Maxwell chose to stay aggressive, opting not to retreat into a defensive shell. He found solid support in skipper Pat Cummins, who played a gritty innings, scoring 12 runs off 68 balls, focusing more on staying at the crease than on scoring runs. Cummins’ resilience frustrated the Afghans, as Maxwell unleashed a relentless assault from the other end.

The list of Sports Today’s Greatest ODI knocks places Kapil Dev’s 175 against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup at the 2nd spot. Sachin’s iconic 143-run innings against Australia in the 1998 Coca-Cola Cup, famously known as the ‘Desert Storm,’ takes the 3rd spot.

Virat Kohli also features in the list at the 8th position with his match-winning 133 against Sri Lanka in the 2012 CB Series. Surprisingly, Rohit Sharma’s record-breaking 264, the highest individual score in ODI history, is ranked only 10th and does not make the top 5.
