5 batting greats who had a tough time against unfancied bowlers

Sachin Tendulkar picked out the bowler who troubled him the most during his career

3. Jacques Kallis – Chris Gayle

The prolific South-African all-rounder, who had an illustrious career across all the formats, somehow didn’t like the innocuous off-spin bowling of Chris Gayle, who got the better of Kallis 4 times in ODIs.

Gayle, more of a part-time bowler, also bowled Kallis once in an ODI. Kallis also had a bit of tough time against another West Indies part-time bowler Carl Hooper who got him out thrice in ODIs.

In Tests as well, Hooper outdid him 3 times. Surely, Kallis had a thing or two against the West Indies part-time offies.
