Entertainer and enigma, Maxwell bows out as cricket's great what-if

Glenn Maxwell, the enigmatic and electrifying cricket player, will be remembered as cricket's great "what-if." A master of limited-overs cricket, his unorthodox shot-making left rivals flummoxed. At the 2023 ODI World Cup, Maxwell's 201-run not out against Afghanistan proved his ability to turn the tide of matches. A two-time ODI World Cup winner and the winning scorer in Australia's inaugural T20 World Cup triumph, Maxwell's unique style, explosive batting, and fielding prowess made him a legend.

His value transcended pure batting, as he was also a key spinner and fielder. Despite a mental health break in 2019, Maxwell's impact on the game remains undeniable.
