5 Heartwarming gestures by sportsmen on the cricket field

#3 Gilly walks off in a World Cup Semi-final

Australian opener Adam Gilchrist walked off the field despite being given not out. It was the Semi-final of World Cup 2003, Gilchrist nicked a ball off leggie Arvind Desilva to be caught by the wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara.

The umpire rejected the appeal for caught behind but Gilchrist, being the true ambassador of the game, walked straight to the pavilion. Gilchrist's act was lauded by fans and received a lot of appreciation from former players.

Aussies are known to be quite competitive and won't leave any stone unturned especially in a Semi-final of a World Cup, but Gilly showed respectable behavior and upheld the spirit of the game. Later on, the Aussies went on to win the game, but the hearts of the fans were already won.
