Melbourne Stars vs. Brisbane Heat: In the KFC Big Bash League (BBL) match between the Melbourne Stars and the Brisbane Heat, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell displayed a flash of genius by making an incredible grab that is already being hailed as an early candidate for “Catch of the Year.”

At long on, Heat batsman Will Prestwidge seemed likely to cross the boundary with a strong hit off Dan Lawrence’s ball, resulting in the spectacular performance. But Maxwell, who was renowned for his thrilling fielding, had other plans. With incredible poise, he jumped high, flipped the ball back into play, crossed the boundary rope, and came back to the field to finish the catch.

Maxwell’s reputation as a game-changer—not only with the bat or ball, but also in the field—was highlighted by his acrobatics.

Following a difficult period in his IPL career, Maxwell excelled in the BBL. Due to a decline in form, Maxwell was released by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) before to the 2025 IPL super auction. He found a new home with Punjab Kings (PBKS), who paid INR 4.2 crore to acquire his services.

For Maxwell, who had memorable experiences with the team from 2014 to 2017 and again in 2020, the transfer represents a return to familiar ground. Maxwell has some of his most significant achievements with PBKS, including guiding the club to the 2014 finals with his spectacular batting exploits.
