The Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 knockout match between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars is underway at the Sydney Showground Stadium. In this do-or-die game, the losing team will be eliminated from the tournament.

Melbourne Stars, after winning the toss, decided to bowl first. During the intense clash, Glenn Maxwell grabbed attention with his remarkable catch and bold celebration, which reminded fans of Virat Kohli’s fiery persona.

Glenn Maxwell’s Stunning Catch and Celebration

The dramatic moment happened in the 7th over when Sydney Thunder’s Matthew Gilkes tried to hit Usama Mir’s delivery for a six but mistimed his shot. Maxwell, positioned at long-on, leapt high to take a sharp catch. What followed next stole the show—Maxwell turned to the crowd and put a finger on his lips, signaling them to quiet down. This gesture was similar to Kohli’s signature way of silencing opposition crowds, adding more excitement to the knockout match.
