#3 Jacques Kallis

South Africa v Sri Lanka - ICC Champions Trophy
Jacques Kallis

Jacques Kallis has been regarded as the greatest all-rounder in the one day cricket. The South African legend was immensely gifted with both bat and ball. Batting at the number three position with a typical Proteas upright stance and compact technique, Kallis was the workhorse of Proteas batting lineup, providing stability to the innings. Although he was more of a run grafter, he could also use the long handle to great effect.

Kallis was a genuine seam bowler who got decent seam movement out off his outswingers, scalping over 200 ODI wickets for the Proteas. He proved to be an effective third seamer to pace greats like Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock and later on to Dale Steyn. Kallis had a safe pair of hands and took some sharp catches in the slips.
