Jacques Kallis: A Modern-Day Cricketing Hero Retires



The Sports-Man suspects that nobody anywhere in the world was able to predict that the great Jacques Kallis was going to announce his retirement from Test cricket in 2013 already...!

The second test between South Africa and India in Durban at the Kingsmead oval will surely be overshadowed in many ways by this sudden, and some would say, "shock" announcement that Kallis is calling it quits after 18 illustrious years of playing Test cricket. He is apparently still determined to make the Proteas squad for the 2015 ODI World Cup tournament. 

How I will miss Kallis's stroke-play...!

I for one, though that Kallis would surely quit ODI cricket to concentrate on playing at least another two seasons, but how wrong was I...! The cricketing world would hopefully find out soon enough why arguably the best all-rounder in cricket decided to retire at this particular point of his career. 

Test Record: Jacques Kallis played 165 Test matches and scored 13174 runs (2nd after Tendulkar), taking 292 wickets and holding on to 199 catches.
