IPL 2018 has probably given his retirement a second wind. #IPL2018Final
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

Big match players... shine on the big stage. Shane Watson just took to the stage; like he owns it @IPL #Final @ChennaiIPL #CSKvSRH

It's fitting that Shane Watson wins this final for CSK with a hundred since he was the biggest star of the inaugural ipl in 2008 and primarily why CSK lost to RR back then. Congratulations #csk #IPLfinal2018 #SRHvsCSK
