IPL 2019: 5 Overseas Players who could have a huge impact this year

#3 Shimron Hetmyer (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Shimron Hetmyer

Shimron Hetmyer came into the limelight last year due to his performances against India when he scored a century and followed it up with a masterful 94 in the next match. Hetmyer is a middle-order batsman, who comes in at number 5 for West Indies.

He is best known for his explosive style of batting and can hit the ball long. Royal Challengers Bangalore saw a lot of value in him when they purchased him for ₹4.2 crores. Definitely, RCB have a role in mind for the young Caribbean batsman. For the past few years, RCB have really struggled in the middle order, especially after AB de Villiers' dismissals.

Hence, RCB will rely on Hetmyer to fill that void as he is used to batting at number 5. His batting style and power will suit RCB and he could even be used to help see the team through the innings. It looks like Hetmyer will be an impactful player for RCB this year and he is one of the players other franchises will study in the days leading up to the IPL.
