Former Australian all-rounder, Shane Watson is currently plying his trade as an assistant coach for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, shared his opinion on what he would have done if Wahab Riaz had kissed him during the 2015 World Cup match like Krunal Pandya did to Kieron Pollard during the IPL 2022 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI).

It is a well-known fact that Shane Watson was at the receiving end of one of the most brutal spells of fast bowling from Wahab Riaz when Australia faced Pakistan in the quarter-finals of the 2015 World Cup. Watson was seen weaving, jumping, and ducking out of the fiery shot-pitched deliveries and kept a bunch of yorkers away as well, as Wahab taunted him.

Shane Watson Reveals What His Reaction Would Have Been If Wahab Riaz Had Kissed Him As Krunal Pandya Did To Kieron Pollard in the latest IPL 2022 match.

On the YouTube channel The Grade Cricketer, Shane Watson was asked what his reaction and he said: “There is definitely no way that Wahab Riaz is going to kiss me on my head after that. It was a quarterfinal and that was a big battle. Even at that time, he had emotions that still haven’t changed. If someone did that to me after they got me out, oh jeez, even if it was a good mate, I will be doing well to not lose it. It is rubbing salt into the wound.”

Shane Watson said that he deserved everything that Wahab Riaz threw at him in such a crunch game as he had sledged Riaz earlier in the match when he was batting. Hence Watson said that everything that happened to him when he batted was self-inflicted and he deserved all the battering he received.
