3) Justin Kemp ( South Africa )

Chennai Super Kings v Central Stags - 2010 Champions League Twenty20
He joined the Indian Premier League and played for Chennai Super Kings under MS Dhoni.

South Africa has always provided cricketers of the highest class like Jacques Kallis, Shaun Pollock, Dale Steyn, Graeme Smith etc. Justin Kemp emerged as one player who could have been the second-best allrounder in the team after Jacques Kallis.

Kemp made his debut on 20th January 2001 in a test match against Sri Lanka but has been in and out of the team on many occasions. In 2008 he joined the rebel Indian Cricket League, which was not recognized by any cricket board or the ICC, thereby ending his career with South Africa.

In the ICL he played for Hyderabad Heroes Team. Later, he joined the Indian Premier League and played for Chennai Super Kings under MS Dhoni.
