#4 Hashim Amla

There is no doubting the fact that Hashim Amla is a class act. Hence, it was a bit strange to see him left out of the IPL bandwagon this year, especially considering the fact that he had a successful campaign in 2017 for the Kings XI Punjab. He amassed 420 runs from the 10 matches that he played last year, which also included two centuries.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have struggled to find a solid opening batsman and Amla could be the missing chink that the Bangalore side so desperately need. Not only does he bring with him a wealth of international experience but he also possesses a calm head, which could help the team in pressure situations. It would also free up Virat Kohli and would let him focus on his game.
