Rishabh Pant has defied all expectations in this year's IPL and led his team Delhi Capitals to the play-offs of the league after a long time. Pant has played fearless cricket though many pundits have criticized him for his gameplay. He has the highest score by an Indian batsman in IPL history and his wicket-keeping skills make him one of the hottest commodities of the tournament.

Adam Gilchrist too was known for his aggressive nature of batting. Gilly used to hit sixes with supreme ease. His whirlwind knock against Delhi in IPL 2009 semifinals was the key reason why Deccan lifted the IPL trophy that year. Apart from being a top batsman, Gilchrist was also one of the best wicket-keepers of his era.

Pant and Gilchrist have a lot in common thus, it is every cricket fan's wish to see them play together once.
