South Africa v India 2nd Test - Day 4
Kallis is widely regarded as one of the best all-rounders in world cricket

Arguably regarded as the greatest cricketer of all time, Jacques Kallis' test career spanned between the Boxing Day test of 1995 to the Boxing Day test 2013.

His 18 years in test match cricket saw 166 tests, 13289 runs, 292 wickets and 45 hundreds which put him second on the list of top hundred-getters and third on the test run-scorers.

Kallis' debut came against England at the Kingsmead, Duban in December 1995. In a rain-hit affair, Kallis scored only one run and did not bowl in that test. His metamorphosis as an international cricketer started in 1999 and has not looked back since then.

His last appearance was against India at Durban in the 2013 Boxing Day test. Kallis retired on a high after scoring a scintillating 115 in his last test innings. He was a symbol of what a true all-rounder should be.
