Best Test XI of the 21st century

7. Adam Gilchrist (Wicket Keeper)

Gilchrist takes the wicket keeper's spot in the side and is the No. 7 batsman, the role he played for the Australian side for most of his career. Gilchrist can be considered as a player who revolutionized the game with his batting role as a keeper and was termed as an all rounder by the Australian team.

Gilchrist destroyed the best bowling attacks in his Test career while playing as lower middle order batsman. He has 417 dismissals to his name as a wicket keeper and holds the record for the most runs at No. 7 position in test matches.

Gilly scored 5570 runs in 96 test matches at an average of 47.61.
