5 highly successful Captain-Vice Captain pairs in Cricket

4. Graeme Smith- Jacques Kallis

The pair complemented each other brilliantly

One of the most successful captains in the history of South African cricket, Graeme Smith captained South Africa on a record number of 108 tests. The gritty southpaw can well be held responsible for the revival of the South African test squad.

Smith, however, had help on his side with an able deputy in the form of Jacques Kallis. Kallis was not only an able deputy to the sherriff but also the main pillar in the Southa African batting order. The ex-KKR star is fact is considered arguably one of the best all-rounders the game has ever seen.

Smith along with the classy Kallis built a team which went on to scale greater heights. The duo complemented each other in more ways than one. Along with leadership, their own individual performances helped form the backbone of the squad which later became one of the most successful sides in test history.
