Shane Watson- An absolute MVP for CSK
True CSK fans would know that Shane Watson has been a terrific match-winner for the team. He was picked by the Men in Yellow in the 2018 auction of the IPL.
His first ever season with CSK was a dream season as he scored 555 runs and his century in the final against Hyderabad was a true representation of class! Being a player of the Big Games, Watto repeated his heroics in the 2019 final against the Mumbai Indians which the latter won by a run.
His 59- ball 80 almost took CSK to their 4th league title.
The 39-year old has already bid adieu to international cricket in 2016. All in all, one can agree that Shane has been a great servant of the game and a terrific sportsman to look up to.
