There is no denying that Herschelle Gibbs was the bad boy of South African cricket but he was equally good with his batting prowess. He was a central figure whenever the team won an important series in the last decade. His fearless attitude helped the team pull off miracles like the one he did at Wanderers when the side was chasing a mountain of 436 in a series decider. He caressed his way to 175 off 111 balls and the rest is history.

Even on the field Gibbs provided some exhilarating moments with his athleticism and filled the void of Jhonty Rhodes. He was a player who thrived under pressure and his tally of 1067 runs in World Cup games is a testimony to the fact. In the later stages of his career, he was not given a permanent batting position which affected his consistency and slowly he became a spare wheel of the side. Gibbs was not even considered for the 2011 World Cup which might have been his final hurrah.
