New Delhi, Sept 7: Former India opener Virender Sehwag hailed Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell's unbeaten 143-run-innings against Sri Lanka in the 1st Twenty20 International match.

Lauding the incredible display of batting from the Australian, Sehwag, who is known for his witty oneliners, termed the centurion's effort as an 'Act of God'.

The Nawab of Najafgarh, who is still considered as one of the most explosive openers in the game, wrote on his Twitter handle that watching Maxwell bat felt as if 'some divine spirit entered Maxwell'.

"Raina looked good in his quickfire 50,but Mata to Maxwell me aa gayin.What an innings after being dropped frm ODI team #AusVSL #KararaJawab," tweeted Sehwag.

Sehwag mentioned Suresh Raina's in his tweet as the India Green captain slammed a quickfire fifty against India Blue during the day/night Duleep Trophy league game.

Sehwag hoped the stylish left-handed batter slams a ton but Raina departed at 52.

Earlier on Tuesday, Maxwell blasted a 65-ball 145 not out to help Australia to a world record 263/3 in 20 overs. Australia won the match by 85 runs.

Maxwell smashed 9 sixes and 14 fours in his brilliant knock.
