Jacques Kallis, when he completed his sixteenth run of his innings, entered the exclusive club of cricketers who have crossed the once impregnable barrier of 10,000 runs in limited overs . He has now joined Sachin Tendulkar of India, who currently sits on top of the pack, followed by Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka, Inzamam Ul Haq of Pakistan, Sourav Ganguly of India, Ricky Ponting the current Australian skipper, Rahul Dravid of India and Brian Lara of West Indies.
