The pinnacle of this list is occupied by a player who despite religious and ethnic limitations in a country with apartheid history has been able to etch his name in the list of greatest batsmen that have graced this beautiful sport. The batsman is none other than Hashim Amla, from being credited a test specialist to a meteoric rise in the ODI format Amla has seen it all.

He has played many knocks of consequence for his team and has bailed them out many times due to his impeccable stroke-making ability. While the coveted World Cup trophy has eluded him as well as his team because of their infamous collapses in the tournament, Amla will look back on his career as a well deserved and cherished one, when he decides to call it a day.
