Glenn Maxwell rolled back the years with a sensational century, lighting up the Major League Cricket (MLC) stage with a vintage display of power-hitting for Washington Freedom (WSF) against Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) in Oakland.

The Australian all-rounder, nicknamed ‘The Big Show’ for his flamboyant and fearless strokeplay, hammered an unbeaten 106 off just 49 deliveries. Maxwell fully lived up to the moniker, launching a relentless assault that included a staggering 13 sixes and just two boundaries. He struck at a blistering rate of 216.33, anchoring a crucial innings after WSF suffered an early collapse.

An insane Glenn Maxwell hundred in the MLC!

He went from 11 off 15 ... to 106 off 49!

With this century, his eighth in T20 cricket, Maxwell joined elite company, tying with fellow Australians David Warner, Aaron Finch, India’s Rohit Sharma, England’s Jos Buttler, and Michael Klinger for the joint-fourth-most centuries in the format. Only Chris Gayle (22), Babar Azam (11), and the duo of Rilee Rossouw and Virat Kohli (9 each) have more T20 tons.
