Shimron Hetmyer

Left-hander Shimron Hetmyer catches the eye as much for his attacking strokeplay as for his hair, coloured various shades of the rainbow.

He started out leading West Indies to their first Under-19 World Cup title, in 2015-16, and then made his name as a lower-middle-order bruiser in T20 cricket. In the early 2020s in the IPL, his ability to go from zero to 60 in no time paid dividends for Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. In the same vein, Hetmyer made a hundred at two runs a ball in 2018 against Jamaica Tallawahs for Guyana Amazon Warriors in the CPL. That same season, in ODI cricket, where he largely slots in as a hard-hitting No. 5 for West Indies, he made two hundreds in three games, against Bangladesh at home and India away.
