'It was Kohli's chance to win IPL as captain. Bowling that one bad over shattered me': Ex-Australia star on 2016 final

Hindustan Times  

Virat Kohli will surely go down as an IPL great, but one that never won the trophy as captain. Virat Kohli scored 973 runs in IPL 2016 but RCB lost in the final. Almost six years after that night at the Chinnaswamy, Watson recalled the IPL 2016 final and admitted that bowling the last over left him 'shattered'. Watch: David Warner's last-minute strike swap with Sarfaraz goes horribly wrong But while Watson's 2016 season ended on a dampener, two years later Watson had his redemption. Playing for a new franchise, the Chennai Super Kings in 2018, Watson pummelled the bowling attacks, amassing 555 runs, scoring two centuries, one of which came in the final against a familiar opponent, the Sunrisers.
