After the Kings XI Punjab lost their last match of IPL 2012, their skipper Adam Gilchrist said that could be the end of his cricket playing career. Gilchrist led KXIP during the team’s six-wicket loss against the Delhi Daredevils at Dharamsala on May 19, which ended the Mohali franchise’s playoff aspirations.
"I would say I've played my last game of cricket just there," Gilchrist said after the match. "I'll go away and have a think about it and talk to the franchise. If the franchise is still keen to keep me involved as coach, which is a role I've really enjoyed, I find that I still enjoy being around the group. To be honest, I didn't miss the cricket that much.
