IPL 2018, CSK vs RR: Twitter reacts to Watson's century

Opening the innings for Chennai Super Kings, Watson scored a century off 51 balls and became the second centurion in this IPL. Watson and Rayudu for the first wicket scored 50 runs in just 27 balls before Rayudu got out in the fifth over. Raina joined Watson in the middle and they put together 81 runs in 44 balls.

Even as the wickets were falling at the other end, Watson batted steadily and reached the century mark in the eighteenth over. Before getting out on the penultimate ball of the match, he ensured that CSK reached the 200 mark.

Here are some of the twitter reactions to Watson's century:

2 mins of silence for everyone who were making fun of CSK for having players above 30yrs of age.

See now how these players with loads of experience are hammering everyone. Awesomeness. #CSK #CSKvRR
