Jacques Kallis – South Africa

Former South Africa stalwart and the all-time greatest all-rounder, Jacques Kallis is one of the four batters in the history of the game to score more than 13,000 runs. Even after 12 years of his retirement from international cricket, Kallis ranks third in the list of all-time highest run-scorers in Test cricket.

The former Proteas great is the only batter in history to play the highest number of innings at the number 4 position, with 170 appearances. He scored 9033 runs with a brilliant average of 61.87, hitting 35 centuries. With being third in the list of highest ‘no. 4’ batting average, Kallis is also the highest run-scorer and has the highest number of centuries in this crucial position.
