Big-hitting West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer was retained by Rajasthan Royals (RR) franchise ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.
The West Indies left-hander, known for his aggressive hitting, was purchased by RR for ₹8.5 crores at the IPL 2022. Hetmyer earlier represented Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challenges Bangalore (RCB).
In a Q&A session posted on Rajasthan’s Twitter account a few months ago, the West Indian opened up about the secret behind changing the colors of his hair.
“This actually came out from last year. My wife is the color genius behind the whole thing. Last year, when I was in Delhi, she was there as well and she was like why don’t you color your hair blue just to see what it looks like? You know, let’s see if you enjoy it.’ And I was like okay sure no problem.” He said
Continuing the story, Hetmyer added:
“And after that she was like ‘okay this year you’re in pink so let’s do pink’. Last year, she was saying that she was wondering what my hair would look like in pink. So, I guess I am here in pink.”
Meanwhile, During the Q&A session, Hetmyer named New Zealand captain Kane Williamson as his all-time favorite cricketer. Sharing his reasons for the same,
“Kane Williamson is someone that I look up to in terms of how he goes about his game and how he bats. He is basically someone simple. He at least seems like someone simple when he goes about how he makes runs and so on.
I really try as much as possible to instill some of that in my game. Keep my game as simple as possible and stay in my little bubble and go about making runs my way.” he said
Asked to name his top four current Test players, he picked Williamson, Mitchell Starc, Virat Kohli and Jason Holder.
