Amla remains the fastest - in terms of innings - to each of the 1000-run landmarks from 2000 to 7000 in ODIs. One of his most significant contributions in the format came in a two-run win over Pakistan, in 2010, when he scored 52.19% of South Africa's total - 119 out of his team's 228

Captaining his side, Amla spent more than eight hours blunting the Sri Lankan threat in Colombo with a 382-ball 139. The match-saving innings sealed South Africa's first-ever Test series win in the country in 21 years

A trailblazer: No South African other than Amla has made a Test triple-hundred. During his 311 against England at The Oval, he put on 377 with Jacques Kallis, and laid the foundations for an innings win at The Oval

Amla displaced AB de Villiers in the South Africa XI for the 2016 series-deciding T20I against Australia at home and quickly allayed fears that his inclusion would mean a slow start. He hammered a career-best 97 not out but couldn't help his side avert a loss

The swansong: Amla's last international match came against Sri Lanka at the 2019 World Cup. South Africa were already out of the reckoning for the semi-finals, but he found some cheer on the personal front, signing off with an unbeaten 80 in a nine-wicket win
