1. Shane Watson (2018)
Warrior Shane Watson has to be at number 1 who stole the show in the 2018 IPL final against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chasing 179 in the final Shane Watson was crucial for CSK if they had to win the title. The all-rounder looked badly out of form during his initial stay at the crease.
Watson surprisingly wasn’t able to time any of his shot and looked in serious trouble. He was nursing an injury which was making it impossible for him to play the big shots. As soon as he was able to hit one stroke from the middle of the bat it all changed.
The Australian then activated his ‘Beast Mode’ and just had fun against the SRH bowling attack in the final. The emotional comeback of CSK in 2018 had a fitting end as they won their 3rd IPL title. Watson the hero of the match scored a sublime 117 off just 57 balls at a strike rate of over 200 and ended the match with 9 balls to spare.
