JAIPUR: Rajasthan Royals have clicked as a unit, finding ways to cross the finish line no matter what the situation is. One of the highlights of their successful campaign so far is the impactful performances from the middle-order, something that was largely absent in the previous seasons. While a major chunk of runs have come from Riyan Parag’s willow, cameos from the Caribbean duo of Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell have proved game-changing.
In a format where teams thrive on strike rates, Hetmyer has hit the top-gear this year and is striking the ball at 194.44, highest-ever since his debut in IPL in 2019. His next best is 168.05 in 2021.
