The way he bats today proves the famous saying ‘Age is just a number’ and every time Sanga scored a ton he makes it even more evident. He is helping the Sri Lankan team settle down well in the transition phase and with 3 hundreds in 25 matches in 2014 Sangakkara also scored 7 half centuries and aggregates over a 1000 runs. 4. Faf du Plessis (South Africa) 3 Hundreds In 2014 he played 15 ODIs for the Proteas and hit 3 centuries and averaged 52.66.(Photo Source: AFP) South Africa has found a star middle order batsman in Faf du Plessis, someone who has over the period mastered the art of anchoring the innings. Faf just knows it perfectly well how to face his innings and when to put the anchor down and when to throw off the weight over the opposition. In 2014 he played 15 ODIs for the Proteas and hit 3 centuries and averaged 52.66 during the year and making himself the third most hundred scorers in 2014. 3. Virat Kohli (India) 4 Hundreds Kohli scored 4 ODI hundreds in 2014 and has 1058 runs in the year. Different people look and asses Kohli in various manners but the common factor that comes out is Virat Kohli is the present and future of Indian cricket. In all the three formats this young man is already marked as a legend and he enhances his reputation notch higher every opportunity that he gets to play for India. 2014 gave him the chance to lead the Indian ODI team in absence of regular skipper MS Dhoni against Sri Lanka and he ‘Ruthlessly’ whitewashed them. Kohli scored 4 ODI hundreds in 2014 and has 1058 runs in the year as well at an average of 58.55 in 18 matches. 2. Aaron Finch (Australia) 4 Hundreds Finch scored 4 ODI hundreds 790 runs in 18 outings at an average of 43.88.

Meanwhile also scoring 4 ODI hundreds Finch scored 790 runs in 18 outings at an average of 43.88. His emergence has reduced the pressure of his opening partner David Warner who can too bat freely and with his natural instinct as Finch matches him shot to shot and knock by knock even bettering the Dasher on few occasions. 1. Hashim Amla (South Africa) 5 Hundreds In 2014 Amla played in 18 matches, scored 892 runs including 5 hundreds and averages 52.47.(Photo Source: AFP) If we have to name a player who has stolen the stage for the last couple of years in ODIs and test cricket as well, only one name matches the attributes that of Hashim Amla. Sensible, yet sensitive, hard yet soft Amla gives strength and flexibility to the South African batting unit. The line-up looks lot more balanced and stable with his aura there at the top of it. The opener has scored runs against all the teams South Africa have played in the year and stood like a rock when there was a challenge. In 2014 he played in 18 matches, scored 892 runs including 5 hundreds and averages 52.47. This year as well can be tick marked as a remarkable year not only for Amla but South Africa in cricket. *All stats updated till 7th December 2014
