    As the Hall of Famer celebrates his 48th birthday, fans recall his glory days from the past.

  • Gilchrist had a special love for performing against Sri Lanka, as he holds the record of smashing the most centuries against the side (7).

    While six of the centuries have come in ODIs, only one has come in the Tests.

    Interestingly, he has smashed just 16 tons in ODIs.

    This proves his dominance against the Lankans.

  • Test sixes

  • Gilchrist was known for his explosive and prolific batting.

    Owing to his very nature of his, he had the tendency to go for the big shots against the bowlers, regardless of the format he played.

    In the same light, he holds the record of being the only Australian to hit 100 sixes in the longest format of the game.

  • Fastest Test ton

  • Gilchrist also had a unique tendency to play a fast innings, and playing mostly down in the order in Test cricket, it gave him the freedom to go big.

    Consequently, he holds the record to smash the fastest century in the format by an Australian, in just 57 deliveries, against England in Perth, in 2006.

    Overall, it is the fourth-fastest in the format.

  • Most WC dismissals

    As for the same, he also holds a unique record, of scripting the most dismissals as a wicket-keeper in an ICC World Cup.

    It was during the 2003 World Cup in South Africa, where he scalped 21 dismissals, a record matched by New Zealand's Tom Latham in 2019.
