Australian wicket keeper and one of my favorite batsman Adam Gilchrist decided to quit the game of Cricket. From telegraph

I have come to this decision after much thought and discussion with those important to me.”

Gilchrist recently made the world record of 414th dismissal. He played 96 test matches and made 5,556 runs. Watching Gilchrist’s batting was always a wonderful experience for me. Below is the video of his performance in which he made 2nd fastest test century:

The way he used to face Akram was outstanding. Wasim Akram also admitted in an interview that Gilchrist was one of very very few batsmen who faced him easly. In the end, a classic moment when Gilchrist faced Akram in worldcup 99 match.

Surely Gilly will be missed. He gave a new name to wicket keeping. Good luck dude!
