5 International cricketers who had a perfect ending to their Test careers

#4. Jacques Kallis

Jacques Kallis

Probably the greatest all-rounder and the most complete cricketer of the modern era, Jacques Kallis carried the hopes of the South African cricket on his shoulders for more almost two decades. As of 2018, he is the only player to score over 10000 runs and take more than 250 wickets in both Test and one-day cricket.

Jacques Kallis played his final Test match against India on 26th December 2013 at the Kingsmead, Durban. South Africa made 500 in their first innings, thanks to a fighting century from Kallis, thereby taking a substantial lead after India were folded for 334.

With India being bowled out for 223 in their second innings and the target just a little above 50, Graeme Smith and Alviro Peterson made quick work of the target. "King Kallis" had brought curtains an end to a magnificent career spanning from 1995 to 2013, having played 161 Tests and giving the luxury of including an extra specialist batsman as well as a specialist bowler.
