Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell at the age of 38, announcing his retirement on Tuesday after representing Australia in 7 Tests, 149 ODIs, and 130 T20Is where he scored 7,226 runs, claimed 136 wickets, and won three major ICC titles including the 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cups and the 2021 T20 World Cup, while leaving behind a legendary legacy defined by his ability to rescue his team from impossible situations, starting with his historic unbeaten 201 off 128 balls against Afghanistan in the 2023 ODI World Cup in Mumbai where, despite severe cramps and struggling to move, he single-handedly dragged Australia from 91/7 to a victorious 293/7 through an unbroken 202-run eighth-wicket stand with Pat Cummins, followed by his brilliant 108 off 90 balls against England in Manchester in September 2020 where he partnered with Alex Carey to rescue Australia from 73/5 while chasing 303 to clinch the series 2-1, and continuing with his breathtaking 104 not out off 48 balls against India in Guwahati in November 2023 to chase down 223 on the very last ball of the match, as well as his late-career masterclass of 62 not out off 36 balls against South Africa in Cairns in August 2025 to secure a dramatic two-wicket series-deciding win, and finally proving his brilliance with the ball by bowling a sensational double-wicket maiden in the final over against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in October 2014 to defend 231 and snatch a thrilling one-run victory.
