Top 5 cricketers with a King pair in international cricket

#4 Adam Gilchrist

Indians celebrate after dismissing Adam Gilchrist on Day 5 of the infamous Eden test back in 2001

Adam Gilchrist is probably one of the best wicket-keeper-batsman to have ever played the game and his numbers back the statement. He was a part of an Australian cricket team which dominated world cricket for a decade.

The Aussies had won 16 Tests in a row before they took the field in the iconic “Eden Gardens” in Kolkata in 2001, which went on to become one of the greatest Test matches the world had ever witnessed. It was the third time that a team won a 5-day affair after following-on, mainly due to the brilliant batting performance of VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid.

It was during this match that “Gilly” was unfortunate to get on the score sheet in the entire match and fell prey to Harbhajan Singh, the star of the match in the first innings while Sachin Tendulkar was responsible for sending the southpaw back to the pavilion in the second innings.
