Arguably, two of the most popular non-Pakistani cricketer in PP in the last 5-6 years. While Amla, at one point was the best test batsmen going around in the world, currently it is Virat Kohli, who is ranked as no.1 test batsmen in the world.
Here are the stats:-
Hashim Amla
Matches:- 119
Runs:- 9022
Avg:- 47.23
100s:- 28
Virat Kohli
Matches:- 70
Runs:- 6098
Avg:- 54.45
100s:- 23
Now, if we look at some series-dominant performance of both, here we go:-
1) Amla dominated a series in 2010 India, 2012 England and 2012 Australia and had played a match-saving inning in Sri Lanka as well.
2) Kohli also, to his credit, already has dominated a series in Australia 2014, SA 2018 and England 2018 and has also dominated series against England and Sri Lanka at home.
If we look at Amla's career, it can be divided into three parts:-
Between 2004-2009:- Avg 39
2010-2014:- Avg 65
2015-2018:- Avgs 36
For Kohli, if we do:-
2011-2014:- Avgs 44
2015-2018:- Avgs 70
