IPL 2019: Twitter salutes Shane Watson for batting with a bleeding knee in the final

In a nail-biting finish, Mumbai Indians (MI) won the IPL 2019 final just by one run and prevented the defending champꦗions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from regaining the trophy.

Chasing a modest target of 150, most of the Chennai batsmen failed to deliver, with the exception of opener Shane Watson. He almost took them over the line, but u✱ltimately was dismissed in a last over run out. Although the Men in Yellow lost the final, Watson is getting a lot of praise on soci🅺al media after fans got to know that he was playing with a bleeding knee.

A day after the finale, the CSK off-spinner Harbhajan Singh revealed that Watto had played with a bleeded knee during the run chase. Despite the injury, the veteran Australia batsman pulled off a brilliant 80-run knock off 59 balls to change the momentum of the game in Chennai’s favour. The CSK was close to victory but a superb slow ball from Lasith Malinga powered MI to win their fourth IPL title.

Twitterati are in awe of Watto’s fighting spirit and have hailed him as a true warrior.
