IPL 2019: One key player for each team 

Royal Challengers Bangalore - Shimron Hetmyer

Royal Challengers Bangalore struggled throughout last year due to the poor performance of their star batters. The biggest failure of RCB last year was Sarfraz Khan who was assigned the role of a finisher.

Failure of Sarfraz put extra pressure on AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli and this hampered their performance as well. The absence of a proper finisher meant the duo couldn't take risks in the beginning as there were no players to take the team to a decent total if they failed.

The need for a quality finisher in RCB was clearly felt throughout last season and the team management has addressed that aspect in the Auction. Hetmyer has been given the responsibility of that role for this season.

Hetmyer has a phenomenal ability to hit sixes at will and that will come in handy in the death overs. He will have to provide the team with the final flourish, and he might well prove to be the difference between the team finishing in the bottom half and the team finishing in the top half.
