#2 Shimron Hetmyer (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

A lot has been said about Shimron Hetmyer ever since he blasted that big hundred against India in the ODI series in 2018. His potential was spotted by many cricketers and experts who were highly impressed with his ball striking abilities.

Hetmyer has a great T20 record in the CPL and considering that his exploits against India came in India, he has proven he can play in India very well. He was bought by the RCB for INR 4.2 Crore and is set to share the dressing room with cricketing greats like Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers.

There is no doubt about his ability, and he can go big this season.
