ICC ODI World Cup: Maxwell breaks Coventry's world record, leaves Kapil Dev behind in this matter

Glenn Maxwell (201 not out) has set a string of records by scoring a double century in the ICC ODI World Cup against Afghanistan. He has achieved such a feat in ODI wickets, which no non-opener batsman could achieve before.

He has become the first non-opening batsman to score a double century in ODI. At the same time, he has also become the batsman who played the biggest innings in ODI as a non-opener. He has broken the record of Charles Coventry in this matter. Coventry played an innings of 194 runs against Bangladesh in 2009.

In this matter, he has left behind even the great former West Indies batsman Viv Richards. Richards had played an inning of 189 runs against England in the year 1984. At the same time, Maxwell has also left behind Kapil Dev in this matter, who had scored 175 runs against Zimbabwe.
