Shimron Hetmyer
India · Left-arm orthodox · Batter
Shimron Hetmyer is a West Indies international and Guyana Amazon Warriors regular who has built a career almost exclusively around T20 batting across several of the game's biggest franchise circuits. In 337 career matches he has scored 8,290 runs at an average of 28.99 and a strike rate of 125.38. His most recent form centres on a finisher's role: an 85 off 34 balls against Zimbabwe on 23 February 2026 demonstrated his destructive ceiling, whilst a run of brief appearances in the IPL in early April 2026 reflected the volatility that comes with batting at the death. He has not taken a wicket across his career and does not contribute with the ball.

Beyond the numbers
8,290 runs across 337 career matches
Hetmyer has accumulated 8,290 runs from 337 appearances at a batting average of 28.99 and a strike rate of 125.38. His output spans Tests, ODIs, T20 Internationals and several of the world's major franchise leagues.
IPL strike rate of 151.81 stands out across formats
In 81 IPL appearances, Hetmyer has scored 1,512 runs at a strike rate of 151.81, the highest of any competition he has played in regularly. His 29.08 average in the IPL sits in line with his broader career numbers, meaning the acceleration carries minimal cost.
Outstanding record against St Kitts Patriots
Across 16 matches against St Kitts Patriots, Hetmyer averages 46.85 at a strike rate of 162.40, making them his most productive opponent by a clear margin. That combination of volume and aggression against one CPL rival is a recurring feature of his domestic returns.
Providence Stadium is his home ground in numbers
In 44 matches at Providence Stadium, Hetmyer has scored 1,192 runs at an average of 30.56 and a strike rate of 132.89. No other venue comes close for sheer volume of output in his career.
Recent form shows high-impact cameos and one big knock
His last ten innings include an 85 off 34 balls against Zimbabwe and a 64 off 36 versus Scotland, but several very short stays at the crease have kept his recent average modest. The pattern suggests a finisher role rather than anchor duties.
