The only South African to hit a triple hundred in Tests, Hashim Amla's name is etched forever into the nation's cricket history.

He is the fastest to complete all the 1000-run multiples from 2000 to 7000 runs in ODIs and is the only current player who could challenge Virat Kohli's record of being the fastest to 10,000. However, he will be 36 years old by the time the next World Cup arrives which in the end could very well prove to be the charismatic player's swansong.
