Just like Dravid, Jacques Kallis carried the responsibility of his team for a major part of his career. In terms of Champions Trophy appearances, Kallis’ highest point came in the inaugural edition in 1998. The man from the rainbow nation hit a stunning 113* against Sri Lanka in the semi final and bowled his team to success with a magical spell of 5-20 against the Windies in the night of the final.

He was adjudged Man of the Match on both the aforementioned occasions and also bagged the Player of the Series award. This trophy remains the only one in South Africa’s cabinet as far as ICC events are concerned.

The burly all-rounder looked solid in the ’99 edition of the World Cup in England scoring 312 runs at an average of 52 but disappointed in ’03 with just 63 runs to his name. He returned to being the hefty string batsman we know in 2007 where he was the Proteas’ highest run getter with 485 runs. He also added 225 runs in 2011 which happened to be his last World Cup appearance and unfortunately for him and his fellow countrymen, he could not help his team shed the tag of the ‘Chokers’.
