And the most potent recruitment made by the Royal Challengers Bangalore is that of the hard-hitting Shimron Hetmyer from West Indies. The left-hander has had an impactful international career so far as the West Indian has already racked up 4 ODI centuries in the 16 ODIs he's played -- a mighty impressive number for a 22-year old!

Hetmyer is an explosive batsman who has every tool in his arsenal to hurt any bowling unit. If anyone watched the recent ODI series between West Indies and England, then it isn't hard to describe that what a sensational talent Hetmyer is.

RCB have often missed out on someone as lethal and as dependable as Kohli and de Villiers but looking at Shimron's batting prowess and style of play, expect fireworks from his bat in the upcoming season of IPL.

West Indies has been home to some of the greatest batsmen of all time and it seems like yet another gem has been discovered in the Caribbean jungle.

Virat Kohli will look at Shimron as a useful asset and someone who he can trust in the middle order.
