Shane Watson
Watson hasn’t been able to set the stage on fire with the bat this season, but trust his golden arm to get breakthroughs whenever the team needs him. He was part of the Rajasthan Royals till the last season, before being roped in by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for this edition.
Having retired from the game post the World T20 last earlier this year, he has starred with the ball for his franchise, picking up 14 wickets from 11 matches. He has been pushed down the order due to firepower at the top of the batting order.
The Bangalore bowling attack has been one-dimensional and insipid, and Watson’s wicket-taking abilities have been the only bright spot.
