#2 Shane Watson

When Shane Watson endured the worst IPL last year, everyone thought its curtains for his IPL career. However, the former Australian all-rounder had other plans.
Watson had an amazing BBL 2017-18 season. The Sydney Thunder all-rounder was the fifth leading run-scorer in the tournament. He played 10 BBL games and scored an impressive 331 runs at an average of 37 with a strike-rate of 139.07.
His impressive BBL form helped him to gain CSK's attention in the auction, who bought him for Rs 4 crore. He continued his form in the PSL as well, his scores in the last 7 T20 games being 37, 90*, 26, 19, 47, 13, 66. He has also taken ten wickets from his eight PSL games so far.
Chennai must be welcoming Watson with open arms.
