5 best players of spin from South Africa

#3 Hashim Amla

There have been very few top order batsmen who have been as consistent as South Africa's Hashim Amla over the past decade or so and the team's rise as one of the best in the world coincided with his ascent as one of the world's top batsmen. The right-hander is a superb all-round batsman and has demonstrated his ability to play top class spin bowling on difficult surfaces.

His soft hands, excellent feet movement and the vast array of strokes make him such a superb player of the turning ball. Although he did have a bit of a nightmare in his last tour to India back in 2015, Amla remains one of South Africa's finest in the sub-continent.

In 2009-10, he plundered 490 runs against India in a 3 Test series and was dismissed only once. He made three centuries in the tour and did well in Sri Lanka as well, back in 2014. He has an overall average of 47.56 in the sub-continent and made 5 centuries and 3 half-centuries so far.
