Who is Adam Gilchrist?
Adam Gilchrist was born on November 14, 1971, in Bellingen, New South Wales, Australia. He started playing cricket at a young age and won several awards for his school teams. He made his first-class debut for New South Wales in 1992 and moved to Western Australia in 1994. He was selected for the Australian ODI team in 1996 as a wicket-keeper-batsman and soon became an integral part of the team with his explosive batting and reliable glovework.
He made his Test debut in 1999 against Pakistan and scored a century in his second match. He formed a formidable opening partnership with Matthew Hayden in ODIs and a destructive lower-middle-order partnership with Shane Warne in Tests. He was also the vice-captain of the Australian team under Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting and led the team on several occasions.
Gilchrist played a key role in Australia’s dominance in world cricket from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. He was part of three World Cup-winning teams (in 1999, 2003 and 2007) and scored centuries in two finals (in 2003 and 2007). He also helped Australia win several Test series at home and abroad, including the historic Ashes series in England in 2001. He holds many records as a wicket-keeper-batsman, such as the most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in Tests (416) and ODIs (472), the fastest Test century by an Australian (57 balls), the highest individual score by a wicket-keeper-batsman in ODIs (172) and the most sixes by any player in Tests (100).
Gilchrist retired from international cricket after the 2007-08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. He then played for Deccan Chargers and Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League (IPL) from 2008 to 2013. He also played for Middlesex in English county cricket in 2010. After retiring from all forms of cricket, he became a cricket commentator and analyst for various media outlets. He is also involved in various charitable causes and social initiatives.
Gilchrist is married to Melinda Sharpe since 1998 and has four children: Harrison, Archie, Teddie and Annie. He lives with his family in Perth, Western Australia.
