Amla in a recent interaction opened up about his top 3 T20 batters, which included India’s current T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav and world-cup winning skipper Rohit Sharma.
In a recent podcast with Subhankar Mishra, the South African legend was asked to pick his current favourite T20I batters, to which Amla named the former Indian skipper Rohit as one whom him loves to watch.
Amla’s Top 3 T20I batters:
Rohit became the second Indian captain to win India a T20 World Cup. The triumph came in 2024 when the Men in Blue defeated South Africa in the final and scripted history in Barbados.
Soon after the triumph, Rohit called time to his magnificent T20I career where he scored 4,231 runs in 151 innings at an average of 32.05. He now continues to play franchise cricket for the Mumbai Indians.
