After Jacques Kallis became the latest inductee into the ICC Cricket's Hall of Fame, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said that the former Proteas cricketer is a jewel in their crown. He was named as the ICC Player of the Year and ICC Test Player of the year in 2005. The right-handed batsman is South Africa's leading Test run-scorer, and is currently third on the all-time list. Kallis has won 23 'Player of the Match' awards in Test cricket, more than anyone else. He spent 592 days as the number one ranked Test batsman (2005-2011) and he spent 4028 days as the number one ranked Test all-rounder (2000-2013).
