Amla has been the Mr.Consistent for South Africa for a long time and even in 2016 he has been in a terrific form. Though he finds fewer headlines than the three men above him on the list but he has been consistently scoring runs across all formats in 2016. Cited as a Test specialist early on in his career, the calm and composed Amla has gone on to prove his critics wrong.
He has been an integral figure during the incessant time for his country’s cricket team and his 12-hour knock of 201 against England was of the highest calibre and that was backed up by a 109 and 96 in Centurion. Scoring 2 centuries and 11 half-centuries in ODIs and four fifties in just seven T20 innings justified the fact he is a man for all formats.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
