All time Kolkata Knight Riders XI

Jacques Kallis

Jacques Kallis is the current KKR head coach

The former South Africa international and one of the best all-rounders in the history of world cricket, Jacques Kallis has been one of the most important players for the Kolkata Knight Riders from 2011 to 2014. Kallis hasn't only scored 1603 runs for the Kolkata-based IPL franchise, but he is also the second highest wicket-taker in the history of the Indian Premier League franchise.

The 40-year-old South African is the third highest run scorer for KKR as he had gone on to score over 1600 runs for the Knight Riders at a decent average of 28.12. He has also scored ten half-centuries for the 'Men in Purple and Gold’ with an unbeaten 80 being his highest.

Kallis had also picked up 48 wickets for the Knight Riders at an average of 28.77. The South African's 3 for 13 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013 remains to be his best bowling figure for the Kolkata-based franchise.
