Caribbean youngster Shimron Hetmyer played a brilliant innings to help the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) end their IPL 2019 campaign on a winning note as they defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last group stage game of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Chasing 176 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday, RCB rode on a crucial 144-run partnership between Hetmyer (75 off 47) and Gurkeerat Mann (65 off 48) as they won by four wickets and kept the Orange Army's dream of advancing to the playoffs uncertain. After the match, Hetmyer admitted it was a tough season for him as he found it difficult to get used to the environment in the IPL. “This time was a little bit tough for me. Getting used to the environment, getting used to the IPL was tough for me, said the West Indian in the post-match presentation. The 22-year-old played just five matches in this IPL edition and scored 90 runs. He further said that he learnt a lot from skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers during the course of the tournament. “I just had a word with the team management and they said to have some fun. I just tried to clear my mind as much as possible and wanted to execute my plans. The experience of IPL has been fantastic. I have learned a lot from Virat and ABD and even the coaches,” he said. RCB finished their campaign with 11 points, which included five wins and a no-result, in this IPL edition.
