You need someone to bat for your life, who do you ask? It's Hashim Amla! A pure master of a batter who pretty much got the job done at most times. A class man who holds plenty of records in international cricket. Amla on various occasions was a South African captain and tasted success by winning at home and away. He may not have been an instant success, but his grit and determination earned him a recall to the team, and after that, his career took off and he never looked back.
Amla played 437 international innings from 2004-2019 while scoring 55 centuries. This gave him a ratio of 7.95 innings per century. Incredible stats to think that the start and end of his career didn’t give him much success, but everything in between is the reason why his stats boast of scoring a 100 literally every 8 innings. For South Africa, Amla currently sits at number 1 in most ODI centuries (27) and number 2 in most centuries (28) scored.
A breakdown of his stats shows his best years of 2010 – 2017 which he scored 46 centuries in 248 innings. This was at a ratio of 5.39 innings per century! Whatever happens to South African cricket, Hashim Amla will be one of their greatest-ever batters in all formats. Whenever in crisis, he delivered and has been one of the most consistent batters in cricket history. Mammoth innings against England in 2012 or against Australia in 2013 kept on proving critics wrong and kept South Africa to their winning ways.
