Herschelle Gibbs, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that name is an electric fielder at backward point and a hard-hitting opening batsman. But, his career also involved controversies, records, failures, etc which all put together can be made into a Hollywood blockbuster.
He did not score a 50 or a 100 in the first 19 ODIs, but once he got his first in the 20th, it all started to flow. He scored 21 hundreds in 248 games for the Proteas, which is still the highest by a South African. Scoring 8094 runs, he is also the second highest run-scorer for his country, just behind Jacques Kallis.
During the 1996 tour to India, Gibbs got his first Test cap in the second game at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.He went onto score 13 more tons in Test and ended with a run aggregate of 6167 in 90 games at an average of 41.95.
Gibbs also became the first player to hit 6 sixes in an over in ODIs. He achieved this feet in a World Cup game against Netherlands in 2007.
Gibbs also took 108 catches in ODIs and 94 in Tests
