5 irreplaceable cricketers in the game of cricket

Jacques Kallis

The veteran South African cricketer is hailed as one of the greatest all-rounders of all time. He is the only cricketer to score over 10,000 runs and take over 250 wickets in both Tests and the 50-overs format. He is also among one of only four players in Test cricket to score a century in five consecutive matches.

Along with his skills with both bat and ball, he was a brilliant slip fielder and took some outstanding catches in the cordon. He is one of the few multi-dimensional players every team desperately wants to have in their side. The balance he gave to the South African team was incomparable and the African side has failed to find a replacement since five years of his retirement.
