Legendary Australian wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist caught up with his Deccan Chargers teammate Rohit Sharma ahead of the second ODI in Adelaide between India and Australia on October 23, 2025.
Gilchrist was seen chatting with Rohit Sharma and clicked a couple of selfies together, which the Australian cricketer posted on his Instagram account, and the post went viral on social media.
Gilchrist faced Rohit in the 2008 Commonwealth Bank series in Australia and shared the dressing room with him during their tenure with the Deccan Chargers in the IPL between 2008 and 2010.
In a post that has gone viral on the internet, Gilchrist lauded Rohit, saying it was a pleasure to play against and with him.
“This bloke reminded me today it was standing on this very ground, the beautiful @adelaideoval, when we first met each other in 2008. It was just when we’d both been bought by the Deccan Chargers, in the very first @iplt20 auction. From there a friendship was born. An old bull leaving international cricket, partnering with a young bull on the rise to become one of India's greats. @rohitsharma45 It’s been a pleasure to play against and with you, to observe you as a broadcaster and fan, and even better to know you as a mate. #kepke," Gilchrist captioned the Instagram post.
Gilchrist greeted Rohit on the field ahead of the start of the match on Thursday, and the two had a warm hug before having a quick discussion.
Rohit Sharma made 73 runs in 97 balls to help India post a competitive 264/9 in the second ODI against Australia.
