Hetmyer scored 314 runs in IPL 2022 at an average of 44 and strike rate of 153. In 7 Games, Obed McCoy managed 11 wickets at an average of 21. McCoy is a strong hitter of the ball too which makes him very useful in T20 format.

Nicholas Pooran got a whopping amount of 16 Crore (INR) in the auction. Romario Shepherd got 50 lac (INR) in the auction whereas all-rounder Kyle Mayers was retained by the LSG.
Nicholas Pooran was part of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022 where he scored 306 runs at an average of 38 and strike rate of 144. Pooran was recently seen in explosive touch against South Africa after relinquishing the captaincy.
Romario Shepherd was also a part of SRH last year however he wasn’t that successful in IPL 2022. Shepherd was in good batting form recently when he smashed 41(18)* against South Africa in the 2nd T20I.
Kyle Mayers has not had the best time lately, however he does have the potential to deliver. Especially his aggressive approach at top of the top order suits well in shortest form of the game.
West Indies Players in Kolkata Knight Riders
It would be quite odd to see Kolkata Knight Riders without Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. These are the two Caribbean players in KKR Squad for IPL 2025.
Russell had a tremendous season for KKR in IPL 2022. He smashed 335 runs at an average of 37 and strike rate of 174. Narine on the other hand managed 9 wickets in 14 games. He had an average season yet KKR have faith in him to do better this time.
West Indies Players in Gujarat Titans
Alzarri Joseph and Odean Smith will be a part of the defending champions in IPL 2025. Odean Smith was picked for 50 Lac (INR) in the auction, while Joseph was retained.

West Indies Players in Sunrisers Hyderabad
Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein will be in Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2025. He was picked in the auction for 1 Crore (INR). Akeal bowled well in the T20I series between South Africa vs West Indies.
