South Africa opener Hashim Amla has added a fresh feather into his
already illustrious cap as became the second fastest batsman in the
world to score 8000 ODI runs in his 176th innings
Hasim Amla achieved this feat during South Africa’s ICC World Cup 2019 group stage clash against New Zealand at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Wed June 19,2019
Hasim Amla needed just 24 runs to go past the landmark and in doing so, he became only the fourth South African ever to score 8000 runs in the 50-over format of the game.
India skipper Virat Kohli holds the record for fastest to 8000 runs as he achieved the feat in 175 innings on this same iconic ground as well two years ago.
