Gilchrist Disagrees With Ponting, Declares Warne The Greatest Cricketer Ever

By IANS News February 11, 2025 • 13:01 PM View: 690

Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist has weighed in on the greatest all-rounder debate, challenging Ricky Ponting’s assertion that Jacques Kallis is the best cricketer of all time.

While Ponting recently hailed Kallis for his staggering numbers with both bat and ball, Gilchrist believes statistics alone don’t define greatness and instead placed the late Shane Warne at the top of cricket’s all-time elite.
