Adam Gilchrist, an aggressive left-hander, is better known as one of the most destructive one-day batsmen of all time. He scores his runs at an electrifying pace and is considered to be one of the best wicket-keeper-batsmen in the history of the game. He made his ODI debut in 1996 and Test debut in 1999. Gilly, as he is fondly called, stunned the cricketing world when he announced he was retiring from all forms of the game.
