Adam Gilchrist was a true powerhouse of world cricket for a dominant decade.
He was a pioneer in redefining the role of a wicket-keeper batsman in modern cricket, averaging well into the 40s, and excelling in all formats of the game.
By the time it was all said and done, the man they know as "Gilly" had played 96 Tests and 287 ODIs, as well as 13 T20Is, with the shortest format of the game kicking off late in his career.
He made more than 5000 runs at Test level to go with over 400 dismissals, while his ODI stats see almost 10,000 runs and over 450 dismissals. He passed 100 17 times in Test cricket and 16 times in ODI cricket and was one of Australia's most consistent performers in a dominant era.
He was also elevated into Australian Cricket's Hall of Fame and his legend status within the sport will never be questioned.

2. Most Test dismissals (2008)
A routine edge from Anil Kumle during a Test match at the Adelaide Oval saw Gilchrist top the list of most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in Tests.
It was his 413rd Test dismissal, but perhaps the most satisfying one, as he etched his name into the wicket-keeping folklore.
Gilchrist finished with 414 dismissals from 96 Tests, averaging 2.2 dismissals per Test innings. No one else manages two dismissals per Test innings.
Mark Boucher has since overtaken Gilchrist again.
