Australian batting all-rounder Glenn Maxwell’s wife, Vini Raman, expressed her joy in a sweet post following Maxwell’s spectacular hundred in the third T20I against India at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on November 28. With a picture of Maxwell on social media, she captioned it with a simple yet heartfelt “home time.”

In a dazzling display of batting prowess, Maxwell smashed an unbeaten 104 off 48 balls, comprising eight fours and as many sixes, guiding Australia to chase down a challenging target of 223 with five wickets in hand. The 35-year-old rightfully earned the Player of the Match award for his exceptional performance.

Prior to the game, it was confirmed that Maxwell, along with Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis, and Sean Abbott, would be returning home after the third T20I. Steve Smith and Adam Zampa had already departed before the match, as reported by cricket.com.au.

Eagerly anticipating Maxwell’s return, Vini shared an Instagram story featuring a red heart and an airplane emoji, capturing the excitement of welcoming her husband back home.

Before the T20I series in India, Maxwell played a pivotal role in Australia’s victory in the 2023 ODI World Cup. His notable achievements include a brilliant double hundred against Afghanistan and breaking the record for the fastest ODI World Cup hundred against the Netherlands, reaching three figures in just 40 balls.

Reflecting on his remarkable century in the third T20I, which also marked his 100th match for Australia in the format, Maxwell acknowledged the challenges posed by the dew. Despite the difficulty for bowlers, he commended his team for staying competitive until the final over.

“The dew obviously makes it difficult to hold on to, we knew it was going to be hard work to bowl yorkers, and there probably wasn’t a number in our head at the back-end to set ourselves to. We thought if we can stay in the hunt until the last over, we can give ourselves a chance, you never know it might come off the middle and you might stay in the game,” Maxwell said after his match-winning knock.

“We did really well to stay in the game until the final over. Knowing that Axar [Patel] had one over left meant (Matthew Wade) Wadey had to be out there to cash in and I was trying to take on all the pace bowlers and get the run rate under a little bit under control,” the 35-year-old added.
