Jacques Kallis scores 45th Test Century in his Farewell Match

Jacques Kallis celebrates his 45th Test century in his final match against India at Durban

South Africa's Jacques Kallis, one of the  greatest all-rounders, scored his 45th and last test century in his farewell test match against India at Durban.

The 38-year-old posted a defiant 115 runs on Sunday as South Africa piled up 500 against India in the second Test of the series in Durban.

This century brings him at par Barry Richards, PGV van der Bijl and BL Irvine to have scored a century in the last test match for South Africa.



His 45th century is next only to master blaster Sachin Tendulkar's 51 Test centuries. This is his 7th century against India. He scored 100 runs off 273 balls. Also, among those players who have played more than 100 Test matches, Kallis is the first to end his career with a century. 

Kallis has also overtaken Rahul Dravid as the third-highest Test scorer with 13289 runs.
