    Alex Carey Breaks Gilchrist’s Record With Historic 156 In Galle

    By IANS News February 08, 2025 • 12:36 PM View: 689
    Galle International Stadium: Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey surpassed the legendary Adam Gilchrist to register the highest score by an Australian wicketkeeper in Asian conditions. Carey played a remarkable knock of 156 in the second Test against Sri Lanka at Galle International Stadium to break Gilchrist's long-standing record.

    The 33-year-old reached the milestone in style, executing a paddle-sweep off Sri Lankan spinner Prabath Jayasuriya in the 87th over of Australia’s first innings. With that stroke, Carey became the first Australian wicketkeeper to score more than 150 in Asia, surpassing Gilchrist’s record of 144, achieved twice - once in Sri Lanka and once in Bangladesh.
