HM Amla
India · Left-arm orthodox · All-rounder
Hashim Mahomed Amla is a South Africa Cricket batter who has played 333 matches across Tests, ODIs and T20Is, accumulating 18,070 runs at an overall average of 47.68. His primary format is the One-Day International, where he averages 50.54 from 174 matches with 7,834 runs and a strike rate of 88.41. On recent appearances, all in the Vitality Blast for Surrey, he showed he could still produce fluent T20 innings, posting 75 off 56 balls against Kent and 73 not out off 53 balls against the same side in the 2020 campaign, though several low scores in that same stretch underline the inconsistency that comes with late-career T20 cricket.
