Adam Gilchrist knows how to win a World Cup, having done it three times with Australia.
The wicketkeeper-batsman crunched fifties in the 1999 and 2003 finals as the Baggy Greens beat Pakistan and India respectively, before he smacked a thrilling 149 off just 104 balls in the 2007 showpiece against Sri Lanka.
In our Adam Gilchrist Masterclass, the former Australia star shared his World Cup memories and reflected on the big moments he was involved in.
Gilchrist also gave us an insight into the method behind his batting technique, which helped him rack up 16 ODI hundreds, 55 half-centuries and a strike rate of 96.94.
The Australian discussed his grip, which was aided in his stunning innings against Sri Lanka eight years ago by a strategically-placed squash ball inside his left glove, and his use of the cut shot.
