The Australian is one of the most successful all-rounders in IPL history. However, Shane Watson is known for some other aspects too, which don’t exactly go with the spirit of the game. The aggressive cricketer has a tendency to lose his cool on the field.

The Queensland-born cricketer has been involved in numerous on-field scuffles at the international level and in domestic T20 leagues, and the IPL hasn’t been an exception. His long lasting feud with West Indian Kieron Pollard during IPL 2013 is known as the one of the longest on-field rifts in the history of the tournament.

The 34-year-old is extremely expressive with his emotions on the field and banks on his aggression to intimidate the opposition. However, over time Watson has toned his on-field aggression down and lets his cricketing skills do most of the talking.
