5 great IPL careers that are moving towards the twilight of their careers
Indian Premier League has been a gala cricketing fest for cricket lovers all over the world. Since the inception of the Indian Premier League, many players have left an indelible mark on the tournament through their outstanding performances. Some of these have gone to have remarkable IPL careers with brilliant numbers reflecting the kind of impact they have had on the tournament and it is such careers that have made IPL what it is- a tournament full of energy and entertainment. With the IPL now coming into its 11th year, many of the great IPL careers might be approaching the twilight of their careers.
Let us have a look at 5 of them:
#5 Shane Watson
The man of the tournament in the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League, Shane Watson is definitely past his prime. A more than useful all-rounder, Watson is an attacking batsman and a medium pace bowler who can pick up some useful wickets in the middle overs and can also bowl in pressure situations.
However, with just 71 runs in 8 matches in last season and 5 wickets with the ball, Watson had a below average IPL 2017. No wonder RCB were not too keen to retain his services this season. Having retired from international cricket earlier, Watson may soon call it time in his IPL career too. With MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings, Shane Watson would love to commence the finishing stage of his career on a high, just like how he started it.
