Hashim Amla is a South African International cricketer

Hashim Mohamed Amla (born 31 March 1983) is a South African International cricketer who plays for South Africa in all three formats of the game, widely regarded as one of South Africa's best modern batsman. He is a right-handed batsman, and has the record of the highest individual test score for any South African Batsman of 311* against England at Kia Oval, London in July 2012. Amla is an occasional off-break bowler and was South Africa's Test captain from June 2014 to January 2016.

In January 2011, Amla became the fastest cricketer to reach 2,000 runs in ODIs, in his 40th ODI innings. He became the first South African to score a Test match triple century when he scored 311 not out against England in 2012. In the 57th innings of his ODI career, Amla became the fastest batsman to score 3,000 ODI runs, requiring 12 innings fewer than Sir Vivian Richards, and also became the fastest cricketer to reach 10 ODI centuries. On 8 December 2013, he became the fastest batsman to score 4,000 ODI runs, requiring 8 innings fewer than Richards.

In January 2016, Amla stepped down as South Africa captain following a drawn Test against England at Newlands. This was preceded by his poor run of form and his team's poor performance against India in November 2015. His team lost the first test against England in the home series. The second test, the one after which Amla announced his resignation, ended in a draw after a double hundred from the South African captain.

During the third test against Sri Lanka on 12 January 2017, Amla played his 100th Test, becoming the 8th South African to play for 100 tests. By ending 9 innings without a fifty in recent test tours, Amla finally scored his 26th century in his 100th match and regained his test average over 50 as well. With that century, Amla became the 8th test player overall and 2nd South African after Graeme Smith to score a century in 100th test.[38][39] when he complete 100 test match he got the title
