Sherfane Rutherford is a Guyanese cricketer and a dynamic left-handed batter known for his explosive power-hitting and finishing ability. He is also capable of bowling at medium pace and playing effective cameos with the bat, and this is the reason why he is considered a versatile T20 cricket player. Rutherford plays domestic cricket for Guyana, and he is now playing for the Mumbai Indians in IPL.
