Maxwell slammed a 50-ball century to propel Australia to a mammoth 241\/4 against the West Indies. He came to the crease when Australia were in trouble at 64\/3 in the seventh over and from there, he blasted eight sixes and 12 fours in an incredible knock of 120 not out from 55 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The score of 241\/4 is also Australia\u2019s highest men\u2019s T20I score on home soil and fourth-highest total considering the overall records.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With this century at Adelaide coming in his 102nd T20I match, Maxwell has equalled Rohit, who reached the landmark in 151 matches, to become the only player to have scored five centuries in the history of men\u2019s T20I cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit had scored his fifth T20I century against Afghanistan in the third T20I at Bengaluru in January, which is best remembered for India prevailing after double super overs. India\u2019s Suryakumar Yadav (four centuries), Pakistan\u2019s Babar Azam, New Zealand\u2019s Clin Munro and Czech Republic\u2019s Sabawoon Davizi (three centuries each) are the next batters on the list of batters with the most men\u2019s T20I centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was good fun, that\u2019s for sure, I just gave myself a chance. It\u2019s a really nice wicket, as we\u2019ve seen during the Big Bash, and it was nice to cash in and spend some time out there. I was trying to give myself the best chance to use my hands to guide it through a gap or over the infield and that really seemed to work for me. I\u2019ve had a few cursed Adelaide trips \u2026 so it\u2019s nice to make this a positive one,\u201d said Maxwell to broadcasters Fox Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/glenn-maxwell-equals-rohit-sharmas-record-for-most-centuries-in-mens-t20is.jpg", "alt_img": "Glenn Maxwell equals Rohit Sharma\u2019s record for most centuries in men\u2019s T20Is", "alt_title": "Glenn Maxwell equals Rohit Sharma\u2019s record for most centuries in men\u2019s T20Is", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Glenn Maxwell Equals Rohit Sharma\u2019s Record For Most Centuries In Men\u2019s T20Is On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Glenn Maxwell Equals Rohit Sharma\u2019s Record For Most Centuries In Men\u2019s T20Is, Glenn Maxwell: Australia\u2019s big-hitting batter Glenn Maxwell equalled India skipper Rohit Sharma's record for most hundreds in men\u2019s T20Is when.", "seo_keywords": "Glenn Maxwell, West Indies, Rohit Sharma, Adelaide Oval, Suryakumar Yadav, Babar Azam, New Zealand, Clin Munro, Czech Republic, Sabawoon Davizi, Big Bash, Fox Cricket", "tag": "", "tagging": "Glenn Maxwell, West Indies, Rohit Sharma, Adelaide Oval, Suryakumar Yadav, Babar Azam, New Zealand, Clin Munro, Czech Republic, Sabawoon Davizi, Big Bash, Fox Cricket", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "glenn-maxwell-equals-rohit-sharmas-record-for-most-centuries-in-mens-t20is", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1039", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-02-11 17:10:04", "updated": "2024-02-11 17:10:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Glenn Maxwell, West Indies, Rohit Sharma, Adelaide Oval, Suryakumar Yadav, Babar Azam, New Zealand, Clin Munro, Czech Republic, Sabawoon Davizi, Big Bash, Fox Cricket", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-02-11 17:10:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/glenn-maxwell-equals-rohit-sharmas-record-for-most-centuries-in-mens-t20is-138012" }
