One of the best wicket-keeper batsmen in the history of cricket, Adam Gilchrist's ability to lay anchor and don the aggressor's role with ease made him one of the most imperative parts of Australia's batting order.

Gilchrist came out to bat with a confidant mindset in the 2007 World Cup final and his optimism saw him notching up 453 runs from 11 matches at an average of 45.30 and a strike rate of 103.89.

In the same edition, one of his most notable knocks was his 104-ball 149 at a strike rate of 143.27 against Sri Lanka that helped Australia overcome a weak challenge from their opponents and clinch the trophy
