Jacques Kallis, one of the best all-rounders to have played the game, surprised his fans as he posted pictures sporting half beard and half clean-shaven look. In his post, Jacques Kallis explained that he did so to raise money for Rhinos and golf development. Kallis also wrote that he will be sporting this look “till end of November”. Posting pictures on Twitter, the former South Africa all-rounder wrote: “Going to be an interesting few days”.
Kallis also mentioned that his daring effort helped them raise 4,80,000 South African rand in charity.
Kallis retired from the international cricket in July 2014 after playing 166 Tests, 328 One-day Internationals (ODIs) and 25 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
The 44-year-old former all-rounder is considered to be one of the most influential cricketers of the modern era.
In a career spanning almost 19 years, Kallis scored 25,534 runs across formats, with 13,289 in ODIs, 11,579 in Tests and 666 in the shortest format.
Moreover, he also picked up over 500 wickets in his international career. 292 ODI wickets, 273 Test scalps and 12 dismissals in T20Is speak volumes of his all-round brilliance.
