On February 7, 2010, at the first Test match against India at Nagpur, Amla scored an undefeated 253, his personal best and the highest score by a South African at number 3, as well as the highest by a South African against India, winning the Man of the Match award and helping South Africa to an innings victory. During the following Test in Kolkata, Amla scored centuries in both innings, including an unbeaten 127 in the final innings as India bowled out South Africa to level the series, remaining the only South African not to be dismissed. He subsequently won the Man of the Match award for the second consecutive match as well as the Man of the Series award for his performances throughout the two-match Test series, in which he scored 494 runs, having only been dismissed once and retaining an average of 494, the second highest batting average ever in a Test series, after Wally Hammond.
