Ranking top 10 finishers ahead of IPL 2023
These players will play a key role in their respective teams due to their match-finishing capabilities.
9. Shimron Hetmyer
In the IPL 2022 mega auction, Shimron Hetmyer was picked by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at INR 8.5 crore. Justifying his amount, the West Indies batter looked incredible, scoring 314 runs in 15 IPL matches of 2022 at a phenomenal strike rate of 153.92. In the competition, he relied on his range-hitting ability and came heavily on bowlers in a majority of games.
As a finisher too, Hetmyer was excellent as he went against the bowlers with a gruesome approach in death overs. His best of the last edition came against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), which was an unbeaten knock of 59 runs off 36 deliveries. In the contest against Punjab Kings (PBKS) as well, he helped his team achieve the colossal target of 190, giving the finishing touch with his 31 runs off 16 balls.
So far, the Guyanese cricketer has racked up 831 runs in 46 IPL matches at a superb strike rate of 152.20. This year, he will look forward to showcasing his best with his bat and ending the trophy drought for Rajasthan Royals.
