IPL 2018: 5 veteran players who need to prove themselves this year

#4 Shane Watson (Chennai Super Kings)

Catch it Watto!

Shane Watson is unarguably one of the best all-rounders to have played for Australia. Since retiring from international cricket the Aussie all-rounder has participated in various T20 leagues around the world.

In the seventh edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) he led the Sydney Thunder who could not create a lasting impact on the tournament. In the first decade, his exploits have been useful for his franchises as he was handy with both bat and ball.

He has scored 2622 runs at an average of 31.21 alongside a healthy strike rate of 138.65. With 86 wickets in 102 matches, Watto proves to be the perfect all-rounder that is required in the shorter version of the game.

In the previous two editions, he has scored only 250 runs in 24 innings with a poor average. He can make the perfect comeback with MS Dhoni as a leader who motivates his players with utmost perfection. The veteran Aussie all-rounder will look to prove his all-round abilities in this edition of the tournament.
