Watch: Glenn Maxwell reveals the extent of problems he had with cramps during his record-breaking 201

"I've never been in a position where I've had full body cramps like that" - Glenn Maxwell revealed the severity of his cramping issues during his insane double hundred that many are calling the greatest ODI knock of all time.

Watch: Glenn Maxwell reveals the extent of problems he had with cramps during his record-breaking 201

Glex Maxwell had never in his career experienced body cramps of the sort he suffered in Mumbai while blasting one of the greatest-ever knocks in an ODI match and helping Australia qualify for the semifinals of the World Cup.

Speaking after the match, Maxwell said, "Never been in a position where I've had full body cramps like that".

Maxwell could hardly run midway through his innings but that did not stop him from pounding ten 6s and twenty-one 4s on his way to an unbeaten 201.

How cricket world reacted to Glenn Maxwell's insane 201

Here's what the Big Show said after his incredible innings in Mumbai:

How his body felt during the innings

"I've never been in a position where I've had full body cramps like that, and I sort of felt it coming on a few overs before that and was just hoping that I could sort of get through. And once we... once we stayed at the same end for a couple of overs, I felt like I was starting to get a little bit of movement back. But that actually probably made the whole job a little bit more simple. I wasn't sort of overthinking the situation. I just knew if I've got a ball that I could hit or try and hit it."

At what point did he believe that they could win

"That's a good question. I think when Patty (Pat Cummins) was, Patty was pretty calm. I think when it got to about maybe 60 or 70 (runs), I thought to two more, maybe half-decent overs, around 15., it's right in the balance here. We knew that. I knew Rasheed had about 18 balls left and that it is going to happen in the last 13 overs or something like that. So as long as we sort of kept him out of the game, I felt like I could...I could hit boundaries off the others. So I was sort of more about negating him, not letting him have a shot at the rest of the tail. And because he's obviously world-class, it can hit you in the pad, he can beat you on both sides of the bat. So I just felt like if we could negate him and keep him out of the back end of the game, we'd be alright."

On his overall feelings at the end of the innings

"It's been a busy couple of weeks, all since my family arrived. So it's...yeah, it's been a weird couple of weeks, but yeah, extremely grateful, I suppose, to be able to get back out here and make the semis. I think after the first two games, we were pretty close to being written off for most people and to being able to string six wins together at the right time...and we didn't have our best stuff tonight, against a pretty spirited opposition. So to be in the semis is a great feeling and hopefully, we enjoy a few days in Pune. And I'll stay away from golf carts."
