After an intense battle between DD, CSK and RCB, all-rounder Shane Watson finally joined the ranks of Chennai Super Kings for Rs 4 Cr. With an experience of over 100 games in the league, Watson is all set to strengthen the middle-order of Dhoni’s team.
Watson was a part of the Rajasthan Royals since the inaugural season, in 2008. That IPL season also helped him make an improbable comeback to international cricket. After being sidelined due to injuries, Watson decided to join the Royals and emerged the Player of the Tournament in the first edition of the tournament. In the 2016 edition of the league, Watto was bought by RCB.
An attacking batsman with a solid defence and an athletic fielder and a medium-pacer, he can swing the ball and pick up useful wickets. The all-rounder has always played a crucial role in his IPL team’s fortunes, and CSK will hope he brings in the same aggression and firepower into their camp.
