Sherfane Rutherford shined in CPL 2021
Rutherford who went unsold in the auction came in as a replacement for Jonny Bairstow. The English batsman opted to withdraw from the UAE leg of the lucrative league owing to personal reasons. Rutherford looked in great touch in the recently-concluded Caribbean Premier League. He is an attacking middle-order batsman and has played for Mumbai Indians and Delhi capitals in IPL before. He scored 262 runs at an average of 37.42 and struck 3 fifties, helping St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to win their first title.

God, I Pray that u take me through this I just can’t take it, it’s too hard like how can he leave without saying anything why why why,” Sherfane Rutherford wrote on Instagram.
