The former South African all-rounder is undoubtedly one of the greatest Test cricketers that the world has ever seen. In 166 Test matches, he has scored 13289 runs at a staggering average of 55.37 and also picked up 292 wickets.

The 40-yer-old cricketer also proved his worth in the cash-rich T20 tournament. He played 98 matches for two franchises in the IPL and won two IPL titles with the Kolkata Knight Riders. He was an instrumental part of the team with his vast experience and superior game consciousness.

The right-handed batsman has scored 2427 runs at an average of 28.55 and with a strike-rate of 109.22. He often played the sheet-anchor role at the top of the order and the whole batting line-up was formed around him.

The right-arm fast medium bowler also contributed with the ball. He has picked up 65 wickets with an economy rate of 7.89.
