The left-handed batter has been designated the finisher’s role and he has been nothing but brilliant.

Hence, he has been instrumental to RR’s success this season.
Having won seven of their 11 games, Rajasthan Royals are currently third in the points table and are looking all but set to seal a playoff berth. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen when Hetmyer rejoins the RR camp as his absence for long can hamper the inaugural-season champions.
