India-Australia combined Test XI: 21st century 

Wicket-keeper: Adam Gilchrist

Adam Gilchrist was one of the greatest mainstays of the 'Invincible' lineup

Adam Gilchrist is probably the most gracious cricketers to have played the game of cricket. He was among the few batsmen who walked back to the pavilion without waiting for the umpire's decision if he had edged the ball.

Being regarded as an aggressive batsman, he was quite influential on the off-side, went after the bowler from the word go and was excellent at slog-sweeping the spinners to the fence. He was also Australia's vice-captain for years galore.

In 96 matches, Gilchrist has scored 5570 Test runs at an average of 47.60. As a wicket-keeper, he was quite agile and took some exceptional catches behind the stumps.

In his Test career, he claimed 379 catches and affected 37 stumpings. Only Mark Boucher went ahead of him in the format and holds the record for most catches by a wicket-keeper in Test cricket (532).
