Glenn Maxwell was in legitimate pain; The Undertaker comparisons break the internet
Glenn Maxwell proved that he's a one-man army and powered through all the pain as he woke up in a similar fashion to The Undertaker to break records and score a huge win.
The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has been a treat to witness lately, with great surprise innings and extraordinary bowling. However, one of the greatest moments of the tournament until now has come in the shape of Glenn Maxwell's instant classic innings against the Afghanistan cricket team.
After all, the odds seemed to be against the Australian cricket team, and they charted into unfamiliar territory as the underdogs against the attack bowling of Afghanistan, Maxwell came and stepped up. Glenn Maxwell would produce one of the most extraordinary innings, singlehandedly going on to score a double-century and lead his team to an incredible win from seven men down early.
However, in the middle of his astonishing knock against the opposing team, Maxwell faced difficulty due to the pain that came with back spasms and severe cramps. At a moment, he would come down and lay on the field due to pain that left everyone concerned if he could continue, but he would go on to push against all of it and wake up like The Undertaker himself.
The ICC Instagram page would commemorate this moment and post a reel that featured the iconic sound of The Undertaker getting up in his iconic pose.
