Adam Gilchrist selected top-3 wicketkeeper batsman

If anyone in India is asked who he would choose as the top wicketkeeper batsman, then you will probably name former Team India captain MS Dhoni, but if we talk about which wicketkeeper batsman is on top in world cricket, then apart from Dhoni, there are two other legends who are always discussed.

Former Australian team wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist named the top-3 wicketkeeper batsmen. Gilchrist took the name of MS Dhoni, but before him he placed an Australian legend. This is none other than Rodney Marsh, whom Adam Gilchrist called the top-1 wicketkeeper batsman.

Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist, while speaking to Times of India, said that Rodney Marsh is his idol. The 2003 and 2007 World Cup winner praised Dhoni's calmness and patience. He also included Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara in his list. Adam further said that he is great in whatever he does, whether it is batting in the top order or wicketkeeping, he is also excellent.

Rodney Marsh played a total of 96 Test matches for Australia between 1970 and 1984. Recently, Adam Gilchrist has predicted that Australia will win the series ahead of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia.

India have won the last two Test series between the two countries in Australia and will now be eyeing a hat-trick. However, Gilchrist sided with his country and admitted it will be a close contest that will go on till the end. India have won the last four Border-Gavaskar Trophies. All by a margin of 2-1.

Gilchrist further said that Australia has the responsibility to prove that they are dominating at home. India knows how to win in foreign conditions. After never defeating India in Australia, India has now won the series there twice in a row. This time it will be a very close contest. Naturally I will name Australia and hope they win.
