Hashim Amla was a proven performer in the international arena. He featured in 124 Tests and amassed 9282 runs at an average of 46.64. Talking about the 50-over format, the Durban-born racked up 8113 runs in 181 matches for South Africa at an average of 49.46.

In the 2017 season of the cash-rich league, the then 33-year-old Amla was in pristine touch and notched up two sensational centuries.
