Adam Gilchrist revolutionized the role of a wicket-keeper batsman in Test cricket; the specialist ‘keepers were now forced out by ‘keepers who can bat. He used to score vital runs for Australia while batting down the order and take games away from the opposition in quick time.

Gilchrist thumped 100 sixes in his glorious career. The left-hander averaged 47.60 for his 5570, but crucially his strike rate of 81.95 made significant impacts on the game. While batting at the top in ODIs, Gilchrist batted at a strike rate of 96.94 for 9619 runs.
