Mumbai: Rajasthan Royals’ West Indies batsman Shimron Hetmeyer has said that his wife is the greatest coach (coach) in his life. In the run-up to the Rajasthan Royals-Kolkata Knight Riders match in the IPL on Monday, Hetmeyer was responding to a query about the change in batting style.
‘I was trying to make the most of the potential in cricket. For the first 2 years of my career I never focused on playing consistently. But not now. I take a few balls to see how the pitch behaves.
My wife Nirvani is the greatest coach of my life. The decision was made by both of us. Then I implemented it, “said Hetmeyer.
‘I want to learn from Jose Butler how to do a reverse sweep. Tried several times during training but I kept coming out consistently. The same goes for the scoop shot. From the outside, batting seems to be very easy. But not so. Loves to play in Mumbai. The wickets here help the batsmen. “I’m lucky not to be a bowler,” said Hetmeyer. Hetmeyer and Nirvana, longtime friends, got married in 2019.
In the IPL match against Kolkata, Rajasthan lost by 7 wickets. Captain Sanju Samson scored a half-century (54 off 49 balls) but the other batsmen failed to shine, leading to Rajasthan’s defeat. Hetmeyer’s 27 not out off 13 balls, including a four and two sixes, was Rajasthan’s second highest run scorer after Sanju.
