Shimron Hetmyer is one of the most exciting emerging talents in world cricket right now. The fact that ICC named him among five emerging players of 2018 is a testament to the incredible talent he possesses.

The 22-year-old from Guyana gave a glimpse of his talent to the Indian crowd in the ODI series against India. The left-hander is a very attacking batsman who can move the game forward in the middle overs. In the last few seasons, we have seen that RCB struggles in the middle overs if they lose wickets of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers early.

Hetmyer can ensure that RCB's middle order is not exposed in such situations. He can hold the innings together and form good partnerships with the lower middle order. RCB understood his importance, that is why they decided to pay 4.2 crore rupees in the IPL auction to acquire his services.
