Thanks so much to @rajasthanroyals and @RCBTweets for all of the amazing memories. Now it’s an exciting new journey ahead with @ChennaiIPL  #WhistlePodu. Watson has been a prolific performer in the IPL and was a part of the Rajasthan Royals outfit during the opening season of the tournament in 2008 which was won by the Royals under the captaincy of Shane Warne.

Watson hasn’t been in the best of forms with either the bat Nor the ball in recent times, but on his day, Watson still can whack the long handle to good effect and score runs at a pretty brisk pace. He is also a useful bowler and can give his captain some crucial overs in the middle.
