IPL 2018, CSK vs KKR: 5 player battles to look forward to

Sunil Narine has got off to a flying start this season

#2 Chris Lynn vs Shane Watson

Chris Lynn in full flow will be hard to stop even for the in-form Shane Watson

Two Australian players who are in completely different situations when it comes to their position in the national side. While Watson has retired from all forms of the game, Chris Lynn has made a strong impact in his limited presence for the Aussies.

Why this player battle will be intriguing is because there are lot of similarities between the two. Both are openers for their respective sides. Both are explosive openers who can take the game with their individual brilliance.

Both of them are liabilities on the field. Watson isn’t the quickest fielders going around and neither is Lynn in this year’s IPL, with his shoulder injury which has curtailed Chris Lynn the fielder.

It will certainly be interesting to see how Shane Watson shapes up against Lynn when they face off. Viewers and fans of KKR would hope Lynn will create a bigger impact than he managed against RCB.

Lynn in full fitness can derail any bowling attack. Can Watson’s experience and skill outfox Lynn?
