The West Indies batter has scored 97, 64 not out and 78 not out in his last three innings, respectively for Seattle Orcas - helping the team win all three matches in MLC. In total, Hetmyer has played 6 matches and scored 309 runs at an average of 103 and excellent strike rate of 220.
West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer is a well-known name in Indian Premier League (IPL) where he has been part of Rajasthan Royals since 2022. Before that, he played for Delhi Capitals in 2020 and 2021 season post spending his maiden year with RCB in 2019. The West Indies batter, however, has failed to live up to his reputation in the IPL, scoring just three fifties in last four seasons. Hetmyer has been in top form in USA-based Major League Cricket (MLC) though, scoring three consecutive fifties in last three matches while playing for Seattle Orcas.
