Imran further said, “During that test match, I went inside the changing room and saw that Jacques Kallis was sleeping. He was snoring. I thought that Kallis has to bat at number 3 and here he is sleeping happily. Now how will it get up? Then at that time Morne Morkel came and asked me, 'Don't do this.' He will get angry.

The South African spinner further said, “But I thought I would see what he does. I remained there in the room. In such a situation, when our first wicket fell and Alviro Pietersen was out, Kallis first opened one eye and looked towards the TV. Look, he stood up rubbing his eyes, then he wore gloves in both his hands and went out to bat. All this happened in front of my eyes. “
