The fiery all-rounder from Australia, Shane Watson, is one of the best all-rounders in the modern day and age. His strong power game, and ability to handle pace and spin with equal ease make him an ideal combination for the T20 format. Apart from being a quality batsman, Watson is a smart medium pacer too.

Watson had a decent BBL this year. In BBL 2017-18, Watson scored 331 runs at a jaw-dropping average of 36.78, and a decent strike-rate of 139.08. His exceptional performance in BBL bagged him a Rs.4 Cr deal with CSK.

With irregularities in the opening slot, CSK would like to hand the matter into the hands of Watson who has opened for RR in the past.

T20 Numbers- Matches: 258 | Runs: 6455 | Avg: 29.20 | S/R: 138.45
