RAJKOT: He fell to a scorching Jasprit Bumrah yorker with the bat after scoring just five, but Glenn Maxwell showed on Wednesday night exactly why he'll be a big cog in Australia's wheel for the 2023 ODI World Cup in conditions where spin will always be a factor.
Playing his first ODI in six months- his last game was at the Wankhede Stadium against India on March 17- the 'Big Show,' back after recovering from an ankle injury and enjoying fatherhood, rocked India's boat with his rather innocuous-looking off-spin, taking 4-40 in 10 overs on a batting paradise to star in Australia's morale-boosting 66-run victory at the SCA Stadium here.
