One of Australia's best limited-overs all-rounders, Shane Watson has been an integral part of the IPL since its inception. He played a huge role in Rajasthan Royals winning the tournament in 2008 and was adjudged the Man of the Tournament in the very first season of IPL. He scored 472 runs and picked 17 wickets in IPL 2008.

10 years after conquering the IPL title with Rajasthan Royals, Watson again won the tournament, but this time with CSK. The veteran scored 555 runs in IPL 2018 and was CSK's second-leading scorer in the tournament. CSK will want Watson to repeat the same in IPL 2019 as well.

So far, Watson has played a total of 117 matches in IPL and has scored 3177 runs at an average of 32.41 and strike rate of 141.20 with 117 being his highest score. Meanwhile, he has hit 16 fifties and 4 centuries. While bowling, he has taken 92 wickets from 105 innings at an average of 29.15 and economy rate of 7.93.

Watson's present form is also very good as he is in tremendous form in the ongoing Big Bash League. He will want to continue his dream run in IPL 2019 as well.
