Adam Gilchrist forever changed wicket-keeping on 22nd November 1999.
Australia was in deep trouble at 126 for 5, chasing a massive 369 against Pakistan. With giants like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar, and Saqlain Mushtaq tearing through the lineup, it seemed Australia’s fate was sealed. They were one wicket away from total collapse.
But then, Adam Gilchrist walked in, playing just his second Test match. He wasn’t intimidated by the world-class attack in front of him; no, he charged right at them. Wasim? Waqar? Shoaib? Didn’t matter. Gilchrist took them all on, shot after shot, piling up runs with fearless aggression.
And just like that, he led Australia over the line, leaving Pakistan stunned. He fell just one short of a remarkable 150, and a star was born with this innings.
