Jacques Kallis - Five greatest performances of the South African legend

#4 Winning the only ICC trophy for South Africa - 1998

Kallis' all-round performance helped South Africa win its first ICC trophy

In 1998, ICC staged the inaugural version of the Champions Trophy in Bangladesh. The tournament was named the Wills International Cup and was also referred to as ICC Knockouts. All eight major cricket teams were slated for the knockout games and three consecutive wins were needed to claim the trophy.

South Africa won the quarterfinal against England and moved into the semifinal round. Batting first against Sri Lanka at Dhaka, the African nation tottered to 87/4. Kallis owned the situation and scored a blistering match-winning knock of 113 from 100 balls with five sixes while rest of the batsmen struggled to score at a decent pace. The sturdy right-hander won the Man of the Match award for his performance.

In the final, South Africa confronted West Indies. The Caribbean team coasted to 180/4 in 35 overs and then Kallis arrived at the scene. With his medium-pace bowling, the all-rounder ran through the batting order of West Indies and grabbed 5/30 in 7.5 overs. The spell proved match-winning as South Africa lifted their only ICC Trophy.
