Jacques Kallis is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest all-rounders in the history of cricket. Being a match-winner with both bat and ball, Kallis was equally envied by batsmen and bowlers during his days. On many occasions, he turned the match on its head with his exceptional all-round abilities.

With more than 25000 international runs with the bat and excess of 550 wickets with the ball, Kallis was the only player to score 10000 runs and take 250 wickets in both Tests and ODIs. Despite taking part in five World Cups for South Africa, Kallis could never lay his hands on the World Cup.

In his 36 World Cup matches, Kallis scored 1,148 runs at a decent average of 45.92 and mustered 21 wickets.
