IPL 2019: 3 former RCB players who proved to be lucky charms for Chennai Super Kings

#1 Shane Watson

Shane Watson had a good BBL season ahead of IPL 2019

To be honest, Shane Watson did not have a decent stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore. After the suspension of his side Rajasthan Royals, the Australian all-rounder was roped in by RCB ahead of the 2016 season. He even captained a few games in the absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli.

However, his performance for them was mediocre at its best. Watson managed to get just 179 runs in 16 matches. The subsequent season proved to be even more terrible as he got only 71 runs in 8 matches. Pundits pulled the curtain down on Watson's IPL career.

An out-of-form Shane Watson was picked by Chennai Super Kings ahead of the 2018 season and the rest, as they say, is history. Watson rolled the clock back in time as he notched up 555 runs in 15 games. He played a match-winning knock in the finals as well.

Watson's unbeaten 117 from 57 balls meant a lot for Chennai Super Kings. It will always be remembered as one of the finest IPL batting performances. Watson played well in the recent T20 tournaments such as Big Bash and PSL.

Watson bagged the player of the tournament and the best batsman award for his 430 runs in PSL 2019. Thus, the Australian legend will be expected to star for CSK yet again.
