#3 Shane Watson - Using his abilities to the fullest

The veteran Australian has been a valuable addition to this CSK lineup. After being rejected by most of the franchise at this year’s IPL, CSK invested faith in the explosive all-rounder to serve them in this year’s IPL. And the 36-year-old has lived up to their expectations so far in the tournament.
Chennai experimented with him opening the innings as they move seemed to pay rich dividends for the team. He has torn apart oppositions in the powerplay overs to set a platform for a huge score in prospect. In the nine games played so far, Watson has scored 317 runs with a healthy strike rate of above 160.
He even blazed a century in a match winning cause against the Rajasthan Royals. His all-around abilities, both with the bat and ball have come good for his team’s cause as the franchise will expect him to continue his good run of play.
