Hashim Amla has been the Mr. Consistent for South Africa

Amla has been the Mr.Consistent for South Africa for a long time and even in 2016 he has been in a terrific form. Though he finds fewer headlines than the three men above him on the list but he has been consistently scoring runs across all formats in 2016. Cited as a Test specialist early on in his career, the calm and composed Amla has gone on to prove his critics wrong.

He has been an integral figure during the incessant time for his country’s cricket team and his 12-hour knock of 201 against England was of the highest calibre and that was backed up by a 109 and 96 in Centurion. Scoring 2 centuries and 11 half-centuries in ODIs and four fifties in just seven T20 innings justified the fact he is a man for all formats.
