In a thrilling encounter between the Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades in the 32nd match of BBL 2024-25, Glenn Maxwell put on a show with a jaw-dropping 91-meter six, showcasing his immense power and skill. However, his humongous six was not the only attraction as a fan's failed attempt to palm the catch left the crowd in splits.

The moment unfolded in the 11.4 over, when Glenn Maxwell faced Kane Richardson, who delivered a slower, back-of-a-length ball wide outside the off stump. Maxwell, known for his explosive batting, was deep in the crease, and with perfect timing, he opened the bat face and punched the ball on the up. The result? A towering maximum that sailed over point, covering an impressive distance of 91 meters. 

The crowd erupted in cheers as the ball flew into the sky because of Maxwell's incredible wrist power and ability to generate force from seemingly difficult deliveries.

Fan's Funny Attempt In The Crowd To Catch The Ball

However, the action didn’t end there. As the ball soared through the air, a fan from the Melbourne Stars' crowd made an audacious attempt to catch the massive hit. Positioned far to the right of the ball's trajectory, the fan leapt to his right, completely misjudging the ball's path. In a hilarious sequence, the fan lost his balance and fell from his seat in an effort to grab the ball, causing a burst of laughter from both the commentators and the crowd. 

The unexpected fall split the commentators into fits of giggles as the Melbourne Stars fan tried to explain his attempt to his acquaintance.

Maxwell's Heroics Save Stars' Innings

In the ongoing match, between Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades, at the time of writing, the Stars are on their way to post a challenging total. Glenn Maxwell's explosive 89 off 49 balls, including 4 fours and 10 sixes, anchored their innings. 

Marcus Stoinis and Ben Duckett also contributed with quick-fire scores. However, the Renegades have fought back with key wickets from Tom Rogers and Fergus O'Neill. The Stars are now cruising with a strong position with Maxwell still at the crease, leading their charge.
