Australia v India - Game 3
Shane Watson

The Australian all-rounder has been a giant at the top of the order for CSK throughout this season’s IPL and in his previous game against RR, Shane Watson slammed 106 to knock the stuffing out of his old team. CSK won the game in a canter and Watson’s stock has only risen since then. He is averaging 32.80 and striking at 157.69 as an opener.

That being said, when CSK destroyed RR in the previous game, the latter’s attack did not have Jofra Archer and the presence of one of the world’s best T20 bowlers in the bowling attack is going to be a huge factor tonight.

In particular, his head-on contest with Watson at the start of the CSK innings is going to be the battle that everyone must be looking forward to. Archer’s performance against Chris Gayle two games ago must still be fresh in everyone’s mind and if he can deliver to that level, then a mouthwatering contest is on the offing tonight.
