Watson has been one of the world's best all-rounders in recent times, and is undoubtedly the most successful all-rounder in the IPL. He has won the Most Valuable Player title two times - in 2008 and 2013. He scored an unbeaten 117 in the 2018 IPL final and was named the Player of the match.
Watson has played for Rajasthan Royals (2008-2015), Royal Challengers Bangalore (2016-2017) and Chennai Super Kings (2018-present). From 117 IPL matches, he has taken 3177 runs at an average of 32.41 while striking at 141.20, and has also picked up 92 wickets.
In this year’s BBL, he scored 344 runs for Sydney Thunder at a strike rate of 129.81.
Watson is expected to open the batting for CSK this year too and he will be looking forward to continuing his form.
