IND vs AUS, 3rd T20I: Maxwell's century keeps Australia alive, win by 5 wickets

A run-chase of 223 looked very tough and with Australia reduced to 68/3, India seemed on course to seal the 5-match T20I series with 2 games left.

But entered Glenn Maxwell and ran riot.

He went into beast mode and single-handedly carried his side over the finish line with an unbeaten 48-ball-104.

Courtesy of his super knock Australia stayed alive in the 5-match series.

It was Maxwell's 4th T20I hundred and he has now equalled Rohit Sharma's record of scoring the most tons in the shortest format of the game.

However, the Aussie power hitter took 48 innings less than the hitman to achieve the milestone.
What made the feat even more special was the fact that Maxwell was playing his 100th T20I.

While the Aussies stayed on track in the chase, quick wickets saw them looking for some inspiration at 134/5 within 14 overs.

But Cometh the hour, cometh the man as Glenn Maxwell showed why he is the best finisher around in T20s and helped Australia win with 5 wickets to spare.

A much needed innings by Maxwell saw the Aussies take the series to the 4th game now with India still leading the series by 2-1.
