The South African legendary all-rounder Jacques Kallis had played a rapid fire round and he picked the perfect players that suited each role. He has also had some controversial picks among the players as he has witnessed even better players at certain roles. Kallis named Virat Kohli as the best test captain and the fans have pointed to Steve Waugh and Graeme Smith as better test captains. As the best fast bowler that Jacques Kallis has ever faced, he was named Zaheer Khan. It was quite an interesting pick as he has faced bowlers like Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram, Curtly Ambrose, etc. For the best all-rounder, it is quite undebatable that Kallis named himself.
The fans in the comment section are claiming Jacques Kallis’ picks to be tailored to an Indian audience. As in many of the cases, he has chosen Indian players over other players that have better stats. The most famous cricketing legends like Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne are nowhere to be seen on the list and they could be perhaps the most noticeable stub.

Despite the speculations regarding some of the picks, there are uncertain players who are absolutely undisputed players for the roles assigned.
