Top 5 overseas captains with great records on Indian soil

#5 Adam Gilchrist

One of the most accomplished wicketkeeper-batsmen of all time, Adam Gilchrist has won all there is to win in international cricket. Part of the great Aussie team that dominated world cricket in the early 2000s, Gilchrist was a leader in the dressing room and on the field, as he served either as captain or vice-captain during most his international career.

Gilchrist’s record in India is absolutely sublime as he has overseen some of Australia’s greatest coups in their tours to India. On numerous occasions, Gilchrist and Australia got the better of the Indian team.

Gilchrist was part of the team that won ODI series in 2001, '03, '06 and '07 on Indian soil. While in the test format, after India's heroic comeback series win in 2001, Gilchrist avenged the defeat in 2004, guiding the Aussies to victory.

A great cricketer and a solid leader, Gilchrist boasts a record few will ever have. Gilchrist won 2 of 3 test matches as captain and won 3 of 5 ODI's as captains.
