HASHIM AMLA (SOUTH AFRICA)

Classy South African batsman Hashim Amla has made a big name for himself in all the three formats of international cricket.  In ODIs, Amla has scored 7696 runs in 169 matches with 26 centuries and a best of 159 at an average of 49.65.

Amla, who has also played 119 Test matches and 44 T20Is matches, will be 36 years old by the time 2019 World Cup comes by. South Africa has never reached the finals of the World Cup, let alone win it and this should be a big enough motivator for Amla to perform to his highest levels in the upcoming showpiece event before he decides to call it time on his illustrious career.

Whatever happens, Hashim Amla will go down in history as one of the greatest modern batsmen to have played the game of cricket.
