Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
Gilchrist, 36, said he would retire at the conclusion of the fourth and final Test against India at Adelaide Oval.
Gilchrist on Friday became the world record holder for most Test dismissals by a wicketkeeper when he effected his 414th career dismissal to move past South Africa's Mark Boucher.
The West Australian made his Test debut in 1999 and has played 96 Tests in succession, also a record.
Apart from his keeping success, Gilchrist revolutionised the game as an attacking batsman from No.7 and scored 5556 runs at 47.89, with a highest score of 204 not out.
He scored 17 Test centuries.
