IPL 2026: Best overseas 4 for Rajasthan Royals
When a franchise has such a good Indian core, the international stars have to compliment their Indian counterparts, something RR’s contingents are very much capable of doing.
1. Shimron Hetmyer - West Indies
Shimron Hetmyer is slowly becoming synonymous with RR as he enters his fifth season with the Jaipur-based franchise. The left-hander will be expected to play the role of a finisher in RR’s stacked top and middle order. With a host of star batters in their squad, Hetmyer comes into the 2026 IPL slightly under the radar. The West Indies star, however, will be equally important to RR’s chances this season should they qualify for the playoffs.
Last season, Hetmyer went on to play all 14 games, scoring 239 runs at a strike rate of 145.73. However, it will be his T20 World Cup form which should excite RR fans the most. The 29-year-old scored 248 runs at an average of 41 whilst striking at well over 185.
