The former Australian bowling all-rounder Shane Watson is all set to join Delhi Capitals (DC)as their assistant coach for the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The former Australian legend is one of the most prolific performers in the tournament’s history, having accumulated 3874 runs and picking 92 wickets.
The 40-year-old has a plenty of experience of playing in the cash-rich league as he has played for the teams like Rajasthan Royals (RR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Watson also won two IPL championships as a player, one with Rajasthan Royals in 2008 and the other one with Chennai Super Kings in 2018.
