It seems like Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) played their cards wrong in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 auctions. After Chris Gayle’s hammering against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), KL Rahul’s fastest half-century against Delhi Daredevils (DD), it is Shane Watson who has scored the second century of IPL 2018.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are giving same opportunities as RCB gave to Watson but it seems like yellow suits him better. The all-rounder scored his third century of IPL career. He got to his century in just 51 balls.
Watson’s wife Lee Furlong and son William Watson came to cheer him up for the game. His son was chanting ‘Watto-Watto’ during the game.
Here’s the video of his son’s reaction –
