Adam Gilchrist is described in the public record as Australian cricketer. Born in Bellingen, Australia, in 1971.
Adam Craig Gilchrist (; born 14 November 1971) is an Australian cricket commentator and former international cricketer and captain of the Australia national cricket team. He was an attacking left-handed batsman and record-breaking wicket-keeper, who redefined the role for the Australia national team through his aggressive batting. Widely regarded as the greatest wicket-keeper-batsman in the history of the game, Gilchrist 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. Gilchrist was a member of the Australian team that won three consecutive world titles in a row: the 1999 Cricket World Cup, the 2003 Cricket World Cup, and the 2007 Cricket World Cup, along with winning the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy.
Adam Gilchrist is recorded among the figures by whom cricket is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.
Cricket is played in formats lasting from three hours to five days, and a career average across them remains the sport's most argued-over number.
