West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer has bashed trolls for ‘targetting his wife’ a day after two-time champions West Indies were knocked out of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. West Indies were hammered by Ireland in their last match of the group stage which resulted in their early exit. Hetmyer was also supposed to travel to Australia as part of the West Indies squad but was dropped after he missed his flight for the tournament.

After West Indies were knocked out of the ongoing 20-20 World Cup in the group stage, social media was abuzz with comments and memes linked to Shimron Hetmyer. The powerful batter could have played a key role and improved the performance of the Caribbean team down under.

Some posts also ridiculed not just Hetmyer but his wife Nirvani Hetmyer, linking her somehow to the shambolic performance of the West Indies in the tournament. Hetmyer reacted to the social media rants questioning why people were bashing his wife for everything he does. He further said that he has a mind of his own and makes his own choices and decisions.

“I have no idea why people bashing my wife about everything that I do. I do have a mind of my own and make my own decisions and choices,” Hetmyer posted on Instagram.

Tagging his wife Nirvani, he wrote that she “is my life and will be... she is the most gorgeous woman in the world to me and will always be beautiful my queen.”

Nirvani Hetmyer replied to the post telling her husband that most “talking” will happen following his post.

"Lol more talking gonna happen lol I guess I play cricket too lol, tagging Shimron, my forever guy,” she wrote.

West Indies batted first in their must-win game against Ireland and scored 146/5 in their 20 overs. Irish batters made a mockery of the target and chased it down in just 17.3 overs. Paul Stirling scored a magnificent knock of 66 off 48 balls smashing six fours and two sixes. As a result, West Indies were knocked out of the World Cup in the first stage itself.
