NEW DELHI: Glenn Maxwell took the World Cup by a storm with his blazing double hundred that brought Australia back from the dead to book a place in the semi-finals with a thrilling win over Afghanistan in Mumbai on Tuesday.
Maxwell's 201 not out off 128 balls, which came after the Aussies had their backs to the walls at 91/7 while chasing 292 to win, has come in for special praise across the cricketing world, including his team-mate at Royal Challengers Bangalore and the legend Virat Kohli.
