Glenn Maxwell: Domestic Career

Maxwell joined the Victorian team in 2009 to play domestic cricket. Later in 2010 he participated in the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes competition and led a victorious campaign for Australia winning Player of the Tournament honors. He was then chosen to represent the Australian Institute of Sports in the 2010 Emerging Players Tournament.

In the limited-overs format he rose to prominence as a member of the Victorian side. Then he ran the quickest fifty in the Marsh One-Day Cup an Australian domestic one-day competition. Later he participated in the 2011 Emerging Players Tournament once again.

Glenn traveled to England in 2012 to play both club and league cricket with Hampshire Second XI and South Wilts. Maxi was called up for the national team as a result of his efforts this season. Maxi who was playing for the Hampshire Second XI hammered fiercely against the bowlers and scored 115 runs off of 31 deliveries in the game against the MCC Young. Maxwell recorded his best bowling stats in first-class cricket 4/42 against South Australia in a Shield match.

Glenn Maxwell: International Career

On August 25 2012 in the UAE he played in his first game against a cricket squad representing Afghanistan. In the second ODI he contributed significantly to his nation's victory and then scored his first half-century in an international match.

On September 5 2012 Maxwell played Pakistan in his first T20I match while on the same tour. He was selected shortly after to represent Australia in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20.

He was chosen for the journey to India where he played his first Test match on March 2. He was unable to live up to his expectations and as a result he did not get many more chances in the longest format. He was chosen to participate in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Before Australia was eliminated from the tournament early on he scored 61 runs in a few matches.

He was included in the squad for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 after an outstanding showing in the 2014 IPL. He amassed 147 runs with a staggering strike rate of 210 and was chosen by the ICC for the Team of the Tournament.

He then played for a second time in English domestic tournaments before playing Test cricket once more in the United Arab Emirates. He performed poorly once more. He was chosen to play in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup though as a result of his limited-overs cricket accomplishments.

During this competition he scored the quickest ODI century by an Australian and the second-fastest World Cup century. With this performance he rose to the Top 10 of the ICC ODI Batsmen Rankings.

Ultimately Australia won the tournament at home and Glenn was selected for the ICC's Team of the Tournament. The Allan Border Medal for the Men's T20I Player of the Year was handed to him by Cricket Australia in the same year.

Glenn began the T20I innings for the first time against Sri Lanka in 2016 becoming the first batsman to do so while scoring 100 runs. He hit 145* from 65 balls which at the time was the second-highest score for a single player. The Australians' 263/6 score the greatest team total in T20Is was a result of these innings. He received another Allan Border Medal for being the Men's ODI Player of the Year capping off a fantastic 2016.

Maxwell became just the second Australian (after Shane Watson) and thirteenth cricketer overall to record an international century in all three formats in 2017 when he struck his first Test century against India in India. Later in the year he participated in just one game of the ICC Champions Trophy.

In the ODI series against India in September 2017 Maxwell struggled. Maxi struggled in the following two ODIs despite leading the Australians in scoring in the first ODI with 39 runs. He was consequently left off the roster for the upcoming games and Australia suffered a 4-1 series loss.

Play

Maxwell was passed over for the first Test of the 2017–18 Ashes in favor of Shaun Marsh. Despite being selected for the game due to injuries to Marsh and Warner he ultimately did not take part in the Test.

After being passed over for a spot in the ODIs in England Maxwell's parents were understandably angered by captain Steve Smith's comments against him during a press conference. He was chosen to play against New Zealand and England in 2018 after a stellar BBL 2017–18. He became the only Australian to have more than one T20I century thanks to his century in this series.

Maxwell received the Men's T20I Player of the Year title from Cricket Australia in 2019 at the Allan Border Medal Ceremony. In the 2019 T20 series against India Maxwell played the game for which he is renowned. 

Maxi scored fifty in the first game and then hit 113* in the subsequent match to achieve three tonnes in T20Is becoming the third cricketer overall and the first Australian to do it. As a result of his 169 runs in 2 innings he was named player of the game and player of the series. Maxwell performed poorly at the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales scoring just 176 runs in 10 games.

Two years later the T20 World Cup returned in 2021 and it was intended to be a great event but he failed miserably! In the five games he only managed to score 68 runs with just one of those runs going for 30 or more.

The Australian power hitter's year hasn't been terrific either. In the 15 T20Is he scored nearly 200 runs at an average of 15. In the ODI format he has amassed less than 300 runs at an average of 30 with only one fifty to his credit.

Maxwell will get the chance to show his real colors and establish his value in the international community at the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.

Glenn Maxwell: IPL Career and BBL Career

Play

Maxwell secured a contract with the Melbourne Renegades to participate in the Big Bash League's debut season in 2011–12. Before getting hurt and missing the rest of the competition he played six innings and scored 124 runs for them.

When Delhi Daredevils (now known as Delhi Capitals) signed him as a replacement during the 2012 IPL season he also received his first IPL contract. He even represented Hampshire in the now-defunct Champions League Twenty20 the same year.

He joined the Melbourne Stars for the BBL 2012–2013 season. In 7 games throughout the season he scored 145 runs including a fifty and claimed 1 wicket.

Maxwell was purchased for $1 million US by the eventual winner Mumbai Indians making him the most expensive player in the 2013 IPL auctions (INR 53 685 500). Even yet he only participated in 3 of their matches while scoring 36 runs. As a result they decided not to use the Australian for the following edition.

Then after being acquired by them for INR 6 crores he transferred to Kings XI Punjab. He ended up becoming the team's third-best run-scorer overall and their highest run-scorer in the tournament. It worked wonderfully for the team. In 16 games he scored 552 runs at a strike rate of 136 including 5 fifty-sevens. He took a wicket in the competition as well.

Maxi played in 6 matches for the Renegades during the 2014–15 BBL season scoring 118 runs including a fifty and taking 2 wickets. With only 145 runs in 11 games and 2 wickets taken he appeared to be a pale imitation of the IPL Maxwell of 2014.

He became the command of Kings XI two years later in 2017. With more accountability he performed better scoring 310 runs at a strike rate of 173 in 14 games while also grabbing 7 team-productive wickets. However he failed to score in a majority of contests.

He wanted to make a statement to the Australian team management who had overlooked him for the ODI series in England during the 2017–18 BBL season. He put up impressive figures for the Men in Red scoring 299 runs in 9 games at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 154. He was given a spot in Australia's upcoming series as a result.

In the 2018 IPL Maxi relocated back to the Delhi franchise. In 12 games he amassed 169 runs at a strike rate of 140 and claimed 5 wickets as they ended last in the points standings.

Maxwell elected not to play in the 2019 IPL season to concentrate on the World Cup. Next season KXIP now known as Punjab Kings will purchase him for an astounding 10.75 crores. The purchase did not turn out well for the team because Maxwell utterly flopped scoring just 108 runs in 13 games without hitting a single six-run ball.

Maxwell was acquired by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a staggering 14.25 crore rupees during the 2021 auction and boy did he not let the red team down. Maxi had a strike rate of 144 and scored 513 runs in 15 games contributing significantly to RCB's season-long triumph. The franchise retained Maxwell for 11 crore rupees in the major auction the next year and was counting on him to repeat his previous year's magical performance. However Maxwell wasn't at his best in the 2022 season scoring just one half-century and totaling 301 runs in 13 games.

Maxwell secured a contract with the Melbourne Renegades to participate in the Big Bash League's debut season in 2011–12. Before getting hurt and missing the rest of the competition he played six innings and scored 124 runs for them.

He joined the Melbourne Stars for the BBL 2012–2013 season. In 7 games throughout the season he scored 145 runs including a fifty and claimed 1 wicket. Maxi scored 118 runs including a fifty and took 2 wickets in 6 matches for the Renegades during the 2014–15 BBL season.

He wanted to make a statement to the Australian team management who had overlooked him for the ODI series in England during the 2017–18 BBL season. He put up outstanding figures for the Men in Green scoring 299 runs in 9 games at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 154. He was given a spot in Australia's upcoming series as a result.

The Victoria big hitter has been fairly reliable over the past four seasons scoring 300+ runs each year. He finished the BBL 11 with 468 runs and a staggering 159.73 strike rate! By smashing 154* from 64 balls last season Maxi also shattered the record for the highest individual score by a batsman in the BBL. Since then Maxwell has changed significantly and he now leads the Melbourne Stars in the BBL.
