1. Hashim Amla:

A top class batsman of the world, Amla, is known for his ability to play well on a consistent basis. Highly capable of scoring tons and tons of runs all across the field, the cricketer is of Indian descent with roots in Surat (Gujarat). However, Amla sees it in a different perspective; he has said in the recent past that it is quite natural that his grandparents were Indians, but he is simply a patriot South African. He has scored 6770 runs from 84 tests with 23 tons and 28 fifties at an average of around 53.
