There is no denying the fact that the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is the most experienced team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the veteran all-rounder, Shane Watson reckons that the men in yellow can be the contenders to win the trophy win the despite the fact that 13 members of their contingent were tested positive for COVID-19. This resulted in an extended quarantine period and it also delayed their outdoor practice session.
Talking about the same during Nabeel Hashmi’s Youtube show, Watson said, “Having an experienced team means your players have more understanding of being able to get their skills to execute under pressure from game one. That is why we believe we’ve got a great chance of having a great year because of the quality of players and the experience we’ve got. We’ve got more chance of not making many mistakes trying to get up to speed as quickly as we possibly can.”

As one of the T20 leagues’ biggest freelancers, Shane Watson has been playing around the world for half a decade now, and he is banking on that experience to shine in the IPL 2020 as well.
Talking about the same, Watson said, “I’ve sort of been away playing T20 tournaments on and off for the last four years or so. I have more of an understanding (now) but still, it’s a challenge to be able to get your skills up.”
Watson also went on to praises CSK’s “world-class” leadership group for supporting him despite his ups and downs in the last season.

Describing the same, Shane Watson said, “The 2018 season was one of my better seasons, it wasn’t just the final (where Watson made a match-winning century). But last year, certainly CSK stuck with me through thick and thin. Just them backing me, knowing my next few good innings were around the corner, (was amazing). Only world-class leaders will really stick by and have the confidence to do that, given the caliber of the players we’ve got.”
