Chennai Super Kings - Shane Watson

Shane Watson was a hero for the Chennai Super Kings last year when he scored a brilliant hundred in the final. But what a difference a year can make. This year, we have seen Watson struggle to score many runs for CSK. He did get close to scoring a hundred this year, but has struggled for the better part of the tournament.

In a team that is performing so well, Shane Watson’s poor performances stick out like a sore thumb. Surely, CSK expect him to perform at a much higher level. Watson has scored just 268 runs from 15 matches at an average of 17.86.

But it isn’t just his batting that is the problem. Watson has given up bowling which means that Dhoni is left with one less bowling option. He has also gotten quite slow in the field. With age and fitness being a prime concern, Watson has now become one of CSK’s biggest liabilities.
