Tour de force performance by #CSK. I thought Sunrisers bowlers would put them under pressure, but fuelled by Watson’s bionic hitting, target achieved with a lot to spare.

Shane Watson is now the only player to score more than one century for two different teams in IPL history…

Watson has been a smash hit tonite. Century in a final is always special, and especially after taking 10 deliveries to get off the mark!

Shane Watson – the only man to twice be IPL man of the tournament, and now a centurion in an IPL final – is one of the greatest T20 cricketers of all time

When was the last time you saw Shane Watson 0(8) in a T20 game
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) May 27, 2018
Watson Once Smashed 185* Against Bangladesh and Said He was Lazy To Run Singles and Doubles And Hence Was Smashing 4s & 6s!
His Innings Today Reminds Of His Old Statement In 2011, A So Called Vintage Knock From Watson! ????
Should Be A Cup Winning Knock Too! ??

Watson showing the team wearing ManForce logos what a man’s force is. #SRHvCSK

I wonder if the du Plessis wicket is, at least in part, due to the inability of Watson to get going at the other end.

Watson’s killing it with swats, slaps, hoicks, for 6s — 7 of them already. CSK may be home with some overs to spare methinks
— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) May 27, 2018
It doesn’t matter even if u r a liar because Watson is on fire ?
