3 young West Indies players who can become T20 superstars

# 1- Shimron Hetmyer ( Batsman)

Shimron Hetmyer is the next big thing in West Indies Cricket

Shimron Hetmyer is one among many players who burst into the limelight after playing in the Caribbean Premier League. He played for the Guyana Amazon Warriors and had a tremendous season scoring 440 runs in 12 innings at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 150. He prefers batting at number three but can also bat at number 4 and 5. He won 3 Man Of the Match awards scoring one 100 and 3 50s.

That wasn't all for Hetmyer as he scored a century in the first ODI against India off just 75 balls and tormented the Indian bowling lineup. He followed it up with 95 in the second game where Shai Hope scored a century to tie the game. Shimron recently said that his dream was to play in the IPL and his dream could be fulfilled as his achievements have forced the cricketing world to turn their attention towards him.

He favors the midwicket region while he can play big shots over both long on and long off. He prefers staying in the crease than charging down the track and plays both pacers and spinners alike. Just 21 years of age, he is already a key part of this Windies side and can solve many middle order problems which have plagued the Windies and fits into both the T20 and the ODI side.

Although he was dismissed for 10 in the first T20I, Hetmyer can certainly pose a problem for India when they take on the Windies on 6th November and will look to justify his reputation as a big hitter and hit the Indian bowlers out of the park.
