Kallis’ illustrious career was filled up with many runs and wickets which the South African amassed. He played a combined 519 international matches for South Africa with 25,534 runs and 577 wickets across formats. Meanwhile, the all-rounder has been doing well in his personal life too after bidding adieu to his playing career.

The all-rounder got married last year in January with Charlene Engels. The couple tied the knot in January 2019 on an estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus. Now, the all-rounder has served his fans with a piece of exciting news as he shared his wife Charlene’s baby bump on Instagram. “Excited to meet you little one! 2.5 Weeks to go,” Kallis captioned the picture while sharing the picture of himself standing with his wife.
