Romario Shepherd is a West Indian bowling all-rounder who utilizes right-arm fast-medium pace and provides lower-order power-hitting. Internationally, he is a regular feature in the West Indies white-ball squad. He recently made history during the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup opener against Scotland by claiming his second career T20I hat-trick and his maiden five-wicket haul, finishing with exceptional figures of 5/20 in three overs. He previously took his first T20I hat-trick against Bangladesh in October 2025.\r\n\r\nIn the Indian Premier League (IPL), Shepherd debuted with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2022. He subsequently played for the Lucknow Super Giants in 2023 and the Mumbai Indians in 2024, where he notably hit 32 runs in a single over against the Delhi Capitals.\r\n\r\nDuring the 2025 mega auction, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) acquired him for ₹1.5 Crore. Shepherd delivered a historic performance against the Chennai Super Kings by scoring a 14-ball half-century - the second-fastest fifty in tournament history. This innings included taking 33 runs off a single over. He finished the 2025 season with 70 runs across 8 matches at a massive strike rate of 291.67. By consistently delivering rapid lower-order runs and useful bowling variations, he played a crucial role in helping RCB secure their historic maiden IPL title. RCB officially retained him ahead of the 2026 season.
