Hetmyer living his dream of playing in IPL final

…urges DC to be patient

The Delhi Capitals have stormed into the final after a resounding win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH); there were many key performances that led them to this position.
But, one in particular was from Guyana’s very own Shimron Hetmyer, who played a handy knock of 42 off 22 balls. Hetmyer will now be able to live his dream of playing in his first Indian Premier League (IPL) final. Although no stranger to playing in finals, the young Guyanese lefthander will have his work cut out for him.
In an interview with DCTV when asked how he felt about storming into the final, Hetmyer said, “It is a dream come true for me, I have always wanted to play in an IPL final, so as I said, it is really a dream come true. When we played SRH, I think we had a fantastic night with the bat: everything came off right for us from the start to the middle overs and coming up to that back end of the innings. Then to go into the field and get one of their main batsmen out in the second over, for us, it was a great all-round performance. It is just up to us to recuperate and come again – do the same in the next game.”
He also noted that it was great to see everyone coming together and doing their part and taking responsibility for the team. The Berbician went on to state that it was a highlight for him to watch South African pacer Kagiso Rabada bag four wickets when the team needed him the most, and “we will just have to repeat that performance yet again and cross over that line”.
In closing, Hetmyer left a message for the Delhi Capitals fans near and far: “Thanks a lot for supporting us, guys; it’s just one more hurdle to go and I hope you stick with us and see us through.”
