1. Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist, the greatest wicket-keeper the game has ever seen, was overshadowed by the brilliance of Ricky Ponting as a captain. The 44-year old has always been a great asset to Australian cricket and have had long spells as vice-captain under Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting. Gilly has always delivered as a captain, most notably winning test series against India in India and also been a very good captain in IPL post his retirement.
