IPL 2019: 5 Players to watch out for

#2 Shimron Hetmyer (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Shimron Hetmyer rose to prominence during West Indies’ tour of India when he hammered a blistering century (106 runs from 78 balls) in the opening ODI. He followed that up with 64-ball 94 in the 2nd ODI.

His performances raised a lot of eyebrows and RCB bagged him for a relative steal of INR 4.2 crores. He will be used to fill RCB’s void of not having a proper middle order batsman to bat after AB de Villiers.

His destructive batting could very well complement de Villiers’ batting style and the duo could put on some scintillating performances. Hetmyer’s availability for the entire season is another bonus for the Royal Challengers Bangalore who will capitalize on this opportunity to march towards their first IPL win.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
