Cricketer's missed farewells: 11 players who deserved a final match
Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from international and domestic cricket on Saturday, August 24.
6. Hashim Amla
Hashim Amla was a part of the strong South African side that went on to dominate world cricket. He was an opener on some occasions or a top-order batsman who could score with ease. He waited for the poor balls and punished them mercilessly.
Amla has played 124 Test matches and 181 ODIs for South Africa. He scored 9,282 runs with an average of 46.41. In ODIs, he had an average of 49.47. In Test cricket, he had the highest score of 311 runs, this innings made him the first South African to score a triple century.
A modest cricketer, Amla is an inspiration to many. His approach to the game was simple but highly effective. He had an impressive strike rate of 141.77 in the IPL too. This showcases his versatility. Even though he was unable to get a perfect farewell, he is one of the greats of the modern era.
