World Cup Final: Glenn Maxwell played a pivotal role in Australia's record-extending sixth World Cup title, scoring the winning runs. His standout performance, a magical double hundred against Afghanistan amid extreme cramps and back spasms, left a lasting impression. In the summit clash, Maxwell's crucial wicket of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma added to his heroics.

Celebrations were not limited to the cricket field, as Maxwell's wife, Vini Raman, an Indian descent, shared in the joy. The couple recently welcomed a baby boy in the family, Logan Maverick Maxwell, on September 11, 2023.

However, post the victory, Vini faced backlash on social media and personal messages for supporting Australia over India. Netizens shared memes and derogatory comments in her chat box, prompting Vini to address the negativity.
