Shane Watson played a match-winning knock of 117 not out to guide Chennai Super Kimgs (CSK) to their third Indian Premier League (IPL) title after an 8-wicket win over SunRisers Hyderabad in the final on Sunday. Watson credited his team coach Stephen Fleming and captain MS Dhoni. Speaking after the match, Watson said, "Throughout the back end of the tournament I was hanging on for dear life, Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni have been looking after me really well and I am really glad to contribute like I did tonight."

"It's been a special season to be honest. To get a special season especially after the last season with RCB. It means a lot to be with a franchise like CSK. After those first ten balls I was only hoping to catch up to at least a run-a-ball", he added.

Watson praised SRH bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his fiery spell in the early overs.
