IPL 2008's best XI: Where are they now?

#5 Shane Watson (Rajasthan Royals)

Watson scored four half-centuries and picked up 17 wickets

Shane Watson has been an IPL mainstay since the first season. The Australian represented the Rajasthan Royals in 2008 until their banning from the league in 2015. Since then, he has played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The all-rounder has been incredibly sought after because of his skills with both bat and ball. In the 2008 season, he scored four half-centuries and picked up 17 wickets on the way to lifting the trophy.

He has also been voted the Man of the Tournament in the IPL a record two times, and Forbes stated that Watson was the highest-paid non-Indian cricketer in the world for five consecutive seasons between 2011 and 2015.
