Career Milestones
Adam Gilchrist — Career Overview
Adam Gilchrist is a wk-batsman from Australia. Adam bats left handed bat and bowls right-arm offbreak and keeps wicket. Wicketkeeper-batters carry one of the most demanding workloads in the modern game: hours of concentration behind the stumps and a finishing role with the bat, often through the middle and death overs. Reflexes, footwork to spin and a calm head under pressure separate the best in this category. Australia is one of the playing nations represented across the international and franchise calendar, with players drawn from the domestic system and the academy pathway into the senior side. International batting record — 96 Tests: 5,570 runs at an average of 47.61, strike rate 81.96 (17 hundreds, 26 fiftys); 287 ODIs: 9,619 runs at an average of 35.89, strike rate 96.95 (16 hundreds, 55 fiftys); 13 T20Is: 272 runs at an average of 22.67, strike rate 141.67. Domestic and franchise career — IPL: 2,069 runs in 80 matches.
