Jacques Kallis:
The legendary all-rounder was all about orthodoxy before he mastered the T20 format. Kallis entered the IPL platform with Royal Challengers Bangalore and played until 2010 before moving to Kolkata Knight Riders. He was successful with both bat and ball. After a silent start in 2008, where he scored only 199 runs in 11 matches, Kallis came back stronger by scoring 361 runs in the next season and later on went to become one of the strongest contenders for the Orange Cap in 2010 with 572 runs in 16 matches. He was equally effective with the ball, snapping 23 wickets those three seasons.
