#1 Shimron Hetmyer

Currently, the most discussed name from the Windies side is that of the 21-year old batsman from Guyana, Shimron Hetmyer. The fearless batsman first dazzled the world with his audacious batting in the Test cricket and then made his name through the CPL and the limited-overs cricket.
The under-19 World Cup winning Captain in 2016 emerged as the highest run-getter (among West Indians) in the CPL 2018. He became CPL’s youngest centurion as he blasted a 47-ball hundred against one of the better bowling attacks in the tournament, Jamaica Tallawahs. Hetmyer then struck a 30-ball 59 in the improbable chase of 155 runs in 15.3 overs against Trinbago Knight Riders to take his side into the final.
Hetmyer impressed the Indian audience with his aggressive brand of batting in the recent tour to India. His exhilarating knocks of 106(78) and 94(64) in the ODIs must have caught the attention of the IPL scouts. Shimron Hetmyer will without a doubt be the hottest sale in this year’s IPL auction.
