Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell smashed the quickest century in ODI World Cup historical past, off solely 40 balls as his staff hammered the Netherlands by 309 runs within the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match on the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. However, Maxwell was by no means happy even after scoring his third ODI century.
Maxwell revealed that he had surprising ‘headaches’ throughout the ‘sound and light’ present throughout the Netherlands batting innings on the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Australia and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder had his eyes coated together with his fingers throughout the 20-minute spectacle.
“Well, I had something like that light show similar happened at Perth Stadium during a Big Bash game and I just felt like it gave me shocking headaches and it takes me a while for my eyes to readjust and I just think it’s the dumbest idea for cricketers when you’ve got this thing coming at you quickly and your eyes take so long to adjust and I think we just lost a wicket and the Perth Stadium lights went nuts,” Maxwell mentioned on the post-match press convention in New Delhi.

“I was at the other end and it took me ages to get my eyes to go again and I felt like I had a headache – so I just try and cover up as much as I possibly can and ignore it but it’s a horrible, horrible idea. Great for the fans, horrible for the players,” he added.
However, Australian opener David Warner differed from his teammate Maxwell on the sunshine present in Delhi. “I absolutely loved the light show, what an atmosphere. It’s all about the fans. Without you all we won’t be able to do what we love,” Warner wrote on social media platform ‘X’.

Maxwell additionally admitted that he was sleepless the entire night time earlier than the match in opposition to the Netherlands after being joined by his spouse Vini Raman and son Logan in Delhi on Tuesday night time. “Yeah, not great. I was sitting in the changing room and I didn’t really want to bat, which is a bit different than the last game where I was way too eager to get out there,” Maxwell mentioned.
“But yeah, I was a little bit more chilled when I got out there. Didn’t have many high hopes, I think. But I’ve been pretty cooked the last couple of days. Coincided with the sleepless night last night with the family over,” he added.
