Top 5 ODI all-rounders of all time 

#1 Jacques Kallis

Former South African great Jacques Kallis is quite possibly the greatest all-rounder to have ever played the game since Sir Garfield Sobers and for most of his 18-year one-day international career, he was the best all-rounder in the world.

He opened the bowling for South Africa for many years due to his ability to bowl quick, swing the ball and the intelligence to restrict runs during the initial overs of a one-day game. In 328 games, Kallis took 273 wickets with an economy rate of 4.84 and an average of 31.79. Kallis also had an excellent strike rate of only 39.3.

Kallis was an equally towering figure in the South African batting line up and batted in the top order for most of his career. His technique, stroke-making abilities and the gift of reading the match situation perfectly made him the perfect sheet anchor.

Kallis averaged 44.36 and scored 11579 runs in his one-day career and remained the team's batting rock for close to a decade and a half. There will probably never be an all-rounder as good as him.
