On November 7 at the Wankhede Stadium, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell redefined the meaning of resilience when he fought cramps, the sweltering Mumbai humidity and the demons in his head to score an unbeaten 128-ball 201 against Afghanistan in the World Cup.
A month and a half later and at the same venue, India’s Jemimah Rodrigues and Australia’s Ellyse Perry did something similar, fighting the challenge of cramps and physical discomfort to help their team’s cause.
This time too, the Aussie came out on top, with the women in green and gold beating India by six wickets in the first ODI to take the lead in the three-match series here on Thursday.
