Adam Gilchrist, who floated the idea of Twenty20 at the 2020 Games, was mobbed by school children during an appearance in Sydney on Tuesday, the Daily Telegraph reports.
"I thought this kind of stuff only happens in India," Gilchrist said as he signed caps and shirts. "I haven't been out of the game that long, but it's nice to think I haven't been forgotten."
