On skipper Virat Kohli surpassing all the greats, including Kallis in scoring the most number of runs and a century of hundreds, Kallis said if the 30-year old remains hungry for a long time, he might achieve the feat.

"He is a world class player. He has proved that over the years. People enjoy watching him bat and the thing about him is he keeps it very simple. He is very handy. He works very hard on his game which shows he is hungry to be on ground for a long time. Who knows what he can achieve."

"If he is fit enough and willing enough to go that far, then certainly not unreachable," Kallis said on Kohli amassing a century of centuries. Currently, he has 66 tons (41 in ODIs and 25 in Tests).

Kallis rubbished talk about Kohli being under pressure as captain after India's humiliating 3-2 defeat at home against Australia.

"I don't know too much about Indian cricket setup but I don't think he is under too much pressure to be honest. He has produced the goods time and time again. The guys follow what he does. He is certainly one of the best in the world," Kallis added.
