Shane Watson is one of the outstanding all-rounders in the world of cricket. His tremendous capability to score a big score and taking important wickets make him a prime asset for any team.
For the 2018 IPL, when Chennai Super Kings bought him Shane Watson, he had already taken retirement from the international cricket. But the purchase was worth enough for Chennai Super Kings. In that season, he scored 555 runs at a strike rate of 150. After seven years, Watson guided Chennai Super Kings to the title. His mesmerizing inning blew away the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
In the final match of 2019 IPL also he proved his replication. Shane Watson was in full flow and CSK was looking very strong to chase the runs. But when Chennai required just three runs from three balls to win, Watson got run out. In 59 balls, he scored 80 runs. unfortunately, Chennai lost the match by only one run.
Shane Watson Had No idea About The Injury
During the innings of Watson, many people noticed an injury on the knees of the all-rounder. Recently, in an interview, he revealed the fact. He said that he had absolutely no idea about the injury while playing. Earlier he has injured his knees in the innings after diving to finish a run.
While speaking to the CSK live on Instagram, he said “ I had really no idea that had happened. The blood was not until I was walking off after the run out in the final over and got it for CSK, the opportunity to win the title, I was walking off and saw blood stains as well as a cut through my pads. I thought, it must be occurred when I dived to complete a run in the final over.”
The interesting thing is that he got to know about the injury only after his wife told it in the next morning. Although Watson feels that it wouldn’t have mattered that much if he would have know it earlier.
