Glenn Maxwell embarked on a record-breaking spree in his double-century knock that spearheaded Australia to a three-wicket win against Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 on Monday.

Maxwell has become the first Australian batter to make a men’s ODI double ton, ending with the highest individual score by a player from his country. He surpassed Shane Watson’s 185*, which had been scored in 2011 against Bangladesh.

It was also the first time that a non-opener scored 200 or more in an ODI innings, making it the highest individual score by a player batting at No.3 or below. 

He further crossed past Fakhar Zaman's knock of 193 runs against South Africa to become the batter with the highest individual score in a run chase in 50-over international cricket.

Maxwell's innings of 201 runs is also the third-highest score by a batter in an innings in ODI World Cup history, behind the 237 and 215 scored by Martin Guptill and Chris Gayle against West Indies and Zimbabwe in the 2015 World Cup.

The unbeaten 202-run stand between Maxwell and Pat Cummins also broke records, becoming the highest-ever stand for the eighth wicket in an ODI.
