The star South African all-rounder was named man-of-the-match for his unbeaten 58 (56 balls) and bowling performance of 4-0-17-1.
"To which Jacques said: 'Whatever happens, I will come close to the man of the series' and he's living up to those expectations," the former South Africa coach said.
"He's a superb cricketer with great attitude," said Jennings after his team's emphatic seven-wicket win.
Apart from performing, Kallis is also playing the leadership role in devising batting gameplans for his team.
"Kallis and Boucher advice Kumble (in batting strategy). When you have a player like Kallis who's got a lot of experience, it's stupid to not use it," said Jennings.
