Born to a South African Muslim family, Amla's grandparents are originally from Surat, Gujarat, having emigrated to South Africa numerous years earlier.[1] His elder brother, Ahmed, is also a professional cricketer, having made his debut two years earlier, and currently captains the Dolphins.[19] Upon his Test debut, he successfully requested that alcohol-promoting logos not be shown on his merchandise and playing gear.

During a Test match between South Africa and Sri Lanka on August 7, 2006, Ten Sports commentator Dean Jones referred to Amla as a "terrorist" after he had taken a catch; after incorrectly assuming that broadcasters had switched to a commercial break, he had said "The terrorist gets another wicket".[2] The broadcast was aired around the world, including South Africa, and he was subsequently widely condemned by South African fans, players and several former cricketers and commentators, leading to the channel terminating its contract with Jones.[2] After the incident Jones reportedly apologized to Amla, stating that his comments were never "supposed to be heard over the air", which he accepted
I think this is the time for BCCI to take a call on Indian pitches in test matches. This is not a pitch which encourages test matches for viewers. I think our bowlers bowled well but if wicket doesn't helping them what will hey do? I think we missed few chances while fielding but overall Indians have put good effort today. Our pitches are not laid properly and there is no favour for bowlers which is letting down their confidence which was observed today.
