Adam Gilchrist

Adam Craig Gilchrist AM (born 14 November 1971) is an Australian cricket pundit and former international cricketer, as well as the current captain of the Australian national side. He was a record-breaking wicket-keeper and offensive left-handed batter who reinvented the role for the Australian national team with his aggressive batting. Gilchrist, widely regarded as one of the greatest wicket-keeper-batsmen in the game's history, held the world record for the most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in One Day International (ODI) cricket until it was surpassed by Kumar Sangakkara in 2015, and the most by an Australian in Test cricket until it was surpassed by Kumar Sangakkara in 2015.

He was one of the most successful batsman-wicket keeper combinations in cricket history. In January 1993, Gilchrist made his First-Class debut. In the history of cricket, Adam Gilchrist is the only wicketkeeper to score a century in a World Cup knockout match. Apart from that, Adam Gilchrist is the first player in Test history to hit 100 sixes.
