Glenn Maxwell Makes History with Major Milestone in PSL 11
Islamabad: Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, representing Hyderabad Kingsmen, has achieved a remarkable milestone in Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11, creating history in T20 cricket.
During a match against Rawalpindi at the National Bank Stadium on Thursday, Maxwell became only the second player in the history of T20 cricket to complete 10,000 runs and 200 wickets, marking a rare all-round achievement.
He reached his 200th wicket in the third over of the match by dismissing Rawalpindi batter Usman Khawaja, underlining his impact as a leading all-rounder in the shortest format of the game. The feat places him alongside West Indies star Kieron Pollard, who is the only other player to have achieved this milestone.
According to statistics, Maxwell has now scored 11,009 runs and taken 200 wickets in 505 T20 matches. In comparison, Pollard has accumulated 14,482 runs and 333 wickets in 735 matches.
Maxwell is featuring in the PSL for the first time and is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous modern-day T20 batters. In T20 Internationals, he has scored 2,897 runs in 130 matches at a strike rate of 154.42, including five centuries and 12 half-centuries, along with 51 wickets.
In the match, Rawalpindi posted 121 runs for the loss of nine wickets, with Muhammad Ali and Hunain Shah taking three wickets each. Sam Billings top-scored with 26 runs.
In response, Hyderabad Kingsmen chased the target in 16.3 overs for the loss of five wickets, securing their third consecutive victory in the tournament and moving to fourth place on the points table.
