Gilchrist Individual Scores in IPL 2009

Leave a Comment
Adam Gilchrist, the captain of Deccan Chargers, is an influential leader who brought a refreshing change to the approach of the last year's tailenders. His aggressive batting combined with brilliant wicket-keeping has always kept Australia in an advantageous position. Now, Deccan Chargers are the beneficiaries of his skills. Will he go on to lead the Deccan Chargers to the semi-finals? We are not sure yet. But, certainly, Gilly will do his best.

Here are the individual scores of Adam Gilchrist in IPL 2009, listed match by match:

1. vs Chennai Super Kings:44 (19 balls)
2. vs Chennai Super Kings:0 (1 ball)
3. vs Mumbai Indians:35 (20 balls)
4. vs Mumbai Indians:25 (29 balls)
5. vs Kolkata Knight Riders:13 (11 balls)
6. vs Kolkata Knight Riders:43 (31 balls)
7. vs Royal Challengers Bangalore:71 (45 balls)
8. vs Royal Challengers Bangalore:15 (18 balls)
9. vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (Final) :0 (3 balls)
10. vs Delhi Daredevils:8 (5 balls)
11. vs Delhi Daredevils:64 (33 balls)
12. vs Delhi Daredevils (Semi-final):85 (35 balls)
13. vs Rajasthan Royals:39 (35 balls)
14. vs Rajasthan Royals:10 (11 balls)
15. vs Kings XI Punjab:20 (16 balls)
16. vs Kings XI Punjab:23 (13 balls)


Adam Gilchrist finished as the second highest run scorer in IPL 2009, behind fellow Australian Matthew Hayden. Gilly is instrumental in taking the bottom-most team in IPL 2008 to win the trophy in IPL 2009. His powerful 85 from just 35 balls threw the favourites Delhi Daredevils out of the tournament in the first semi-finals. He was dismissed for no score in the finals, but that did not stop Deccan Chargers from winning the tournament.

Adam Gilchrist finished with 495 runs from 16 matches at an average of 30.93 and strike rate of 152.30. Gilchrist's strike rate is the best in IPL 2009 for players who have scored at least 250 runs in the tournament.
