Born on November 14, 1971, in Bellingen, Australia, Adam Gilchrist turns another year older as cricket celebrates one of its greatest wicketkeeper-batters.
Gilchrist was part of Australia's historic World Cup-winning teams in 1999, 2003 and 2007, establishing himself as a cricketing legend.
He scored 5,570 Test runs and 9,619 ODI runs, including 17 Test centuries and 16 ODI hundreds.
Gilchrist smashed a breathtaking 149 off just 104 balls against Sri Lanka in the 2007 World Cup final.
Known for walking when he knew he was out, Gilchrist earned enormous respect for his honesty, sportsmanship and fearless batting.
Thank you for entertaining cricket fans with your explosive batting and incredible wicketkeeping.
