Watson excited to play under Dhoni

Chennai: “It is going to be a real honour to play for such a great franchise with the history that the Chennai Super Kings have, and the thought of playing under the great Mahendra Singh Dhoni excites me a lot,” Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has said. Watto, as he is fondly known in cricket circles, has turned out in the Indian Premier League since the inaugural edition – for Rajasthan Royals between 2008 and 2015 and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last two seasons. “It is going to be a little strange initially as CSK were one of Rajasthan’s big rivals which started way back in the first year of the IPL. But it won’t take that long to subside,” Watson was quoted as saying on CSK’s official website.
