'Was mentally scarred from the 2001 India tour': Gilchrist

The 2001 Australia tour of India is renowned for India's historic comeback, spearheaded by VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid, securing a 2-1 series win. Three years on, the 2004 series saw Australia, despite Ricky Ponting's injury, clinch their first series in India in 35 years, led by stand-in captain Adam Gilchrist, with key contributions from Jason Gillespie and Shane Warne.
