#3 Jacques Kallis

Renowned as one of the greatest all-rounders to have ever played the game, Jacques Kallis had a pacifying presence in South Africa's T20 side as well. While the likes of AB de Villers and other flamboyant players blazed away at the other end, Kallis would often hold one end together and play an anchor role. The man from Cape Town also chipped in with a few handy wickets. In 25 T20I games, the legendary cricketer scored 666 runs and picked up 12 wickets.
Sadly though, Kallis couldn't end his T20I career in a way that he'd have liked. The South Africa vs India game on 2 October 2012 at Colombo at the ICC World T20 Championship marked his final international game in the shortest format. Kallis, who opened the innings while chasing a target of 153, fared poorly with the bat and scored just 6 runs as his side fell short of the target by an agonizing one run.
