3. Shane Watson:
He started off his IPL career with the Rajasthan Royals, under the captaincy of Shane Warne. He emerged as the Player of the tournament in the first edition of the game by scoring 472 runs with a best of 76* and also managed to pick up 17 wickets with a best of 3-10 in the 15 matches played.
Watson should be thankful to the inaugural season of the IPL which helped him to make a comeback into the international circuit after been sidelined from the national team pertaining to the injuries.
He was with the Rajasthan franchise till the year 2015, after which the team was suspended for two years from the tournament due to spot-fixing allegations under its name.
‘Watto’ as he is known as is an experienced campaigner both with the bat and the ball. With his attacking batting style, he has the ability to take on any bowling attack. Besides, he is a very useful bowler especially in the death over who has the ability to vary the pace of the ball and provide important breakthrough’s when required. He is also a good athletic on the field capable of saving runs when required.
RCB management will also hope that he brings the same amount of aggression and firepower on the camp which can lead to a change in their fortunes after a poor start to the season.
