ODI World Cup 2027 It has now been confirmed that the star player, who holds the world record in run chase, will not play in the IPL. ODI World Cup 2027 is to be organized in October-November next year. But, due to his decision taken 28 months before that, that player will remain out of the team of ODI World Cup 2027.

We are talking about all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who will not be seen playing the 2027 ODI World Cup for Australia.

What is Maxwell's world record in run chase in ODI?

Glenn Maxwell holds the world record for making the highest score while chasing runs in ODIs. The amazing thing is that he had made this score in the last ODI World Cup played in 2023. Maxwell played an unbeaten inning of 201 runs for Australia while chasing the target of 291 runs against Afghanistan at the Wankhede ground in Mumbai. Before this, no batsman had scored a double century in a run chase in ODI.

He is the only cricketer to do this.

Why is Maxwell different among the centurions of ODI World Cup?

Glenn Maxwell was the only batsman to score a double century in the last World Cup. He is the third batsman in the history of ODI World Cup to score a double century. This feat was first done by Chris Gayle and after him by Martin Guptill. But, Maxwell's double century is different from the first two batsmen because it came during the run chase in the ODI World Cup.

For this reason Maxwell will not play the next ODI World Cup

However, it is clear from now that Glenn Maxwell, who made the world record in run chase in ODI, will not be a part of the Australian team for the World Cup 2027.

The reason behind this is his retirement from ODI cricket in June 2025. 37-year-old Maxwell now intends to focus on T20 cricket, that is why he decided to retire from ODI cricket. Due to his retirement decision, he will not play in the ODI World Cup 2027.
