The former Aussie opener who hit a scintillating hundred in the final of the 2018 season, is once again in great form going into the tournament. Shane Watson had a very good time in BBL as well as PSL and will be itching to prove his worth for the Chennai Superkings as well.

He might not be used much as a bowler this year owing to his history of injuries, but he is someone who can take the game away from the opposition with his monstrous hitting.

Watson had a successful outing for CSK in 2018 along with his opening partner Rayudu. Both scored in excess of 500 runs in the season and were the major reasons for CSK's success.

If Watson continues his rich form and replicates a performance similar to last year, CSK might be right on course for their fourth title. His ability to score huge on getting set and also his tendency to get off to fliers makes him a prime contender for the Orange Cap.

Ambati Rayudu and Suresh Raina are the other ones who might win the Orange Cap. But Raina is not in his best of form and Rayudu's little technical deficiencies exposed off late might go against him scoring big this time.
