Watch: Glenn Maxwell Leaves Everyone Surprised By Correctly Predicting Exact Mode Of Dismissal

The way things panned out at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, one can say that Australia star Glenn Maxwell can earn big if he becomes a fortune teller. The Melbourne Stars skipper left everyone mighty impressed as well as surprised by predicting the exact mode of dismissal while his team was playing against Melbourne Renegades in the ongoing Big Bash League.

The incident took place in just the second over of the match when Nathan Coulter-Nile was bowling to Sam Harper. Glenn Maxwell was having a chat with the commentators on the field, and it was then he said: “We might get a catch at mid-off or mid-on”.

And exactly one ball later, Renegades’ batter Sam Harper was dismissed by Nathan Coulter-Nile as he had him caught at mid-on. Sam Harper was trying to play a big shot on almost every delivery he faced and it eventually brought about his downfall. Coulter-Nile stuck to his strength and made Harper pull unconvincingly towards mid-on.

BBL’s official handle tweeted the video of the incident and captioned the post as: “We might get a catch at mid-off or mid-on @Gmaxi_32 is a cricketing genius”.
