The Guyana batsman impressed as a finisher for his previous franchise and he hopes to repeat the same for the Rajasthan team in the upcoming IPL season. “I am really excited to be associated with the Royals team. I’ve heard some great things about the franchise from my good friend Evin Lewis, and I look forward to joining the team.”
Hetmyer did not give much importance to joining the team with big money saying that it is important for him to perform the role that is assigned to him well. He said, “There is no big price pressure on me, it will be a challenge to help the Royals when I am there. The ‘price tag’ doesn’t really matter to me, what matters to me is the runs scored and the contribution I make to the team.” The explosive batsman said, “I am ready to take up any responsibility that comes from the team.” (agency)
