What are Shimron Hetmyer's IPL career batting stats?
Correct Answer Pattern
Shimron Hetmyer (DC/RCB/RR) IPL career batting (2019–2025, Cricsheet — 7 seasons):
Stat Value Runs 1,488 Highest score 75 Average 29.18 Strike rate 152.6 Fifties 5 Hundreds 0 Sixes 93 By phase:
Phase Balls SR Powerplay (1–6) 61 108.2 Middle (7–15) 501 125.3 Death (16–20) 413 192.3 Source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.
Required Concepts
- Shimron Hetmyer is a left-handed West Indian finisher — his value is almost entirely in the Death overs
- Death SR (192.3 from 413 balls) is a large, confident sample — 413 Death balls is one of the higher Death-overs volumes in the corpus for a specialist finisher
- Middle SR (125.3 from 501 balls) is below career average — confirms he slows down in transition and accelerates at the death
- PP SR (108.2 from 61 balls) is the weakest phase — rare PP appearances, low strike rate when he does bat in overs 1–6
- 93 career sixes — prolific six-hitter, most from the death overs
