Greatest innings of all time

 Whenever we think that something is best, we meet with something extraordinary from nature and we have to believe that this is now more better than the others. Last day we have to witness the same when Maxwell was blazing all around in wankhede. 

Whenever a batsman plays such a powerful innings, we forget that many batsmen have earlier played such impactful innings even before this. 

And we can't  declare that innings one of the best innings of all time.We have to analyse another innings too. 

While chasing, a few innings are already marked in history. 

There is no doubt that Maxwell's innings will be remembered as one of the most important innings in the history of cricket. Maxwell started from 91-7 in Australia's victory target of 292, putting on an unbeaten stand of 202 for the eighth wicket with skipper Pat Cummins, who made 12 from 68 balls, to achieve victory with 19 balls to spare.And Maxwell was suffering from cramps all the time. 

Think of the greatest warriors in the history of mankind. Today a name is added.This name is Glenn Maxwell. An innings that defied logic, that tested the limits of human capabilities as Glenn Maxwell on one leg, with a semi-functional back that took Australia from the dooms of defeat to the whims of victory. We have never witnessed such power hitting for the cause of victory.21 fours and 10 sixes are a proof that a man who can't run, has to fly.Functioning purely on adrenaline, this performance has today become a day to remember in the history of game.This is unbelievable, but we have to show some respect for other innings also in the history of cricket. 

See a few more unforgettable innings while chasing in crisis. 

1. Hershelle Gibbs's 175 runs was the best innings  when he was chasing 434 runs against world's best bowling attack.

2. Kapil Dev's victory against Zimbabwe when five of his players were out on 7 runs and after that he scored 175 runs. 

3. That innings of Abdul Razzaq against South Africa in which he scored 109 runs on 72 balls when Pakistan's five batsmen had fallen below 100. 

4. Kevin O'Brien 113 against England in 2911 world cup.  The burly Irishman rendered an English attack that included Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann helpless, and played the innings of a lifetime to smash 113 off 63 balls and guide his country to a stunning upset.

5. Javed Miandad's knock  in the final of Sharjah Austerasia  Cup, when almost all the main batsmen of Pakistan were out and he took the match till the end single handedly and won the match by hitting a six on the last ball. 

6. Fakhar Zaman's 193-run innings when half of Pakistan's team was out for less than 100 and he almost took it close to the win. Quinton de Kock deceived him and unfortunately he could not finish the match. But that fight will always be remembered.
