Maxwell Returns to Australia after playing a match wining Innings, Will Not play fourth T20

In the third T20 match between India and Australia, things were going well for India, but a player named Glenn Maxwell changed the game. His powerful batting style helped Australia win the match by 5 wickets, with Maxwell scoring an unbeaten century.

Even though there are two more matches left in the T20 series, if India wins just one, they’ll win the series. Fans are worried that Maxwell might cause trouble again, but he won’t be playing, so that’s a relief for the Indian team.
