IPL 2018 Auction: 5 players who can lead their side

#3 Shane Watson (Australia)

There is uncertainty over the inclusion of all-rounder Shane Watson. Considering his age and his form in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League franchises might not bid for him. Shane Watson has played all the ten editions of the IPL and has led Rajasthan Royals in the past.

The thirty-six-year-old is currently leading the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League, and Watson's recent form in the BBL may give him some hope of getting picked in the auction. Amidst this, franchises will look towards Watson to take up the captaincy role. The leadership role brings the best out of the all-rounder and his experience can be valuable for other players around him.
