Profile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni represents the old guard in Indian cricket. He made his debut in the national side back in 2004 for the ODI team. A year later, MS Dhoni made his maiden Test appearance and finally, in 2006, he kicked off his T20 career.

The 37-year old has been a stalwart in the Indian team and he has brought a lot of success to the team. Back in 2014, he announced his retirement from Test cricket, but has continued to play in limited overs.

IPL Career

MS Dhoni is one of the few players who has stuck around the IPL since its inception. He joined the Chennai Super Kings for a fee of $1.5 million, making him the most expensive player at the time.

Since then, he has remained with the side until IPL 2015. In 2016 and 2017, he joined Rising Pune Supergiant after CSK were banned. But now, he is back in the yellow jersey and once again performing well.

During his tenure with CSK, MS Dhoni has lead the team to three IPL championships, including back-to-back wins. In essence, they are the first team to ever defend their title.

Even with Rising Pune Supergiant, Dhoni's troops were not to be trifled with and they were a force to be reckoned with. In fact, in 2017, Pune even reached the final, losing to eventual champions, Mumbai.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to IPL 2019, the Chennai Super Kings are on the hunt for their second back-to-back title win. If they do win, it will be their 4th ever and they will break the deadlock with the Mumbai Indians.

However, the competition will be tougher than ever. All the teams will be eager to put a stop to the CSK juggernaut. MS Dhoni is a capable leader and is no stranger to the winning mentality.

One thing that CSK is known for is, valuing experience over youth and they have opted for that same strategy in IPL 2019.

Shane Watson Biography

Shane Watson is considered one of the best limited-overs all rounders in modern cricket. He possesses a powerful game and can deal with both pace and spin. Like many all-rounders, he started off as a middle order batsman. Then, he worked his way up the order to finally become an opener.

While in that position, Shane Watson unleashed a new beast that no one knew existed. His semi-final and final knocks in the 2009 Champions Trophy almost single-handedly took Australia to the title.

Watson made his international debut in 2002 against South Africa in an ODI series. Inspite of a selection overhaul, Shane Watson was an obvious selection. This was because Cricket Australia took into account his usefulness as an all-rounder.

But one of his biggest vices was fitness and it plagued him throughout his career. He had contend with bad form for a long time but he never let it get him down. Shane Watson had a fairly good international career, particularly in limited-overs cricket.

IPL Career

Shane Watson kickstarted his IPL career in 2008 for the Rajasthan Royals. That year, he thrived and was the leading run-scorer and third highest-wicket taker. He also played a key role in the Royals' underdog success story.

National duty and injury kept him out of the IPL in 2009. However, from 2010 onwards he was on and off the league until 2013. He topped the batting charts for the Royals in IPL-5 and also made his maiden IPL century, 101 against CSK.

The all-rounder remained loyal to the Royals until 2015 but injury forced him out yet again. During, the Royals' two-year ban for the spot-fixing scandal, Shane Watson was fished out of auction pool by the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

However, he was unable to justify his hefty 9.5 crore price tag. While he delivered with the ball in 2016, he had a poor time with the willow. When RCB released him, the returning Royals did not retake him.

But then, a lifeline arrived in the form of the Chennai Super Kings. Watson then made Rajasthan and Bangalore regret not retaining him when the tournament began. He smashed an astonishing 555 runs in the season - his best in IPL history.

While he was stuck in the middle-order at RCB, Dhoni slotted him into the opening position.

Expectations for IPL 2019

Now, in IPL 2019, Shane Watson is back with the Chennai Super Kings and really relishing the challenge.
