Former Australian all-rounder, Shane Watson, who played for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2020 before announcing his retirement, wished the team ahead of their opening game of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. Watson posted a collage of pictures on social media with his former teammates, including skipper MS Dhoni, Faf du Plessis, and Dwayne Bravo.
Captioning the collage on Instagram, Shane Watson said, “Best of luck Chennai for your first match of the season. Let’s make it 4 titles.” CSK have won the IPL trophy in 2010, 2011, and 2018. Under the captaincy of Dhoni, CSK will be locking horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the second match of IPL 2021 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
