Gilchrist celebrates after picking up a wicket

The Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist was playing his last game in professional cricket, and after ensuring that they cannot lose the match, Gilchrist decided to have some fun. Since 51 runs were required of the final 6 balls of the last match that Gilchrist was playing, he decided to bowl the final over.

In a memorable turn of events, Gilchrist bowled an off-spinner to the veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who had dismissed Gilchrist many times over the course of his career. Harbhajan’s slog went straight to the long on fielder and Gilli’s Gangnam style celebration began.

With an economy and average of zero and a strike rate of a wicket per ball, Gilchrist has undoubtedly the best record for any bowler. Perhaps a fitting farewell for a legend of the game.
