#2 Shimron Hetmyer

Shimron Hetmyer

One of the emerging young talents from West Indies, Shimron Hetmyer is an explosive left-hand batsman who will be playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2019. Hetmyer first came into limelight when he led the West Indies U-19 team to their maiden World Cup title in 2016. A year after the U-19 World Cup 2016, he made his debut for the West Indies team.

The Caribbean Premier League 2018 proved to be a breakthrough tournament for Shimron Hetmyer as he performed really well in the T20 league. The Guyanese batsmen scored a total of 440 runs from 12 matches at a very good average of 40.00 and strike rate of 148.14 with 1 century and 2 half-centuries. He ended the CPL 2018 as the third leading run scorer of the tournament.

So far, the 22-year-old has played 21 T20s and has scored 517 runs from them at a healthy strike rate of 142.42.

The left-handed batsman will surely want to make a mark in the upcoming season of IPL by performing well for RCB. It will be quite engrossing to see if Shimron Hetmyer is able to live up to expectations.
