Hashim Amla was on fire in the 2017 IPL season

It was really disappointing for many, to see that Hashim Amla went unsold in the 2018 IPL Auction.

He was absolutely brilliant in 2017 for KXIP. Many did not consider him as a T20 batsman, but he proved everybody wrong by scoring two hundreds in one season.

Yes, he smashed two centuries and scored over 400 runs at a staggering average of 60 and a strike rate of 145.

He has played only 16 IPL games but has scored more than 500 runs at an excellent average of 44.38 and a strike rate of over 140.

Even though the sample size is less he has shown that he is capable of performing in the IPL. It is a treat to watch Amla bat in any format and so without any doubt, he is the most underrated overseas batsmen in the IPL.
