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.

Sunil is a pro wrestling journalist, covering AEW and WWE news stories at Sportskeeda. He holds an MBA degree in Marketing, and has nearly 7 years of experience. A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
