IPL 2018 final: Twitter goes wild as Shane Watson's ton helps CSK lift 3rd title
Mumbai: Shane Watson saved the best for the last as his unbeaten knock of 117 runs ensured that Chennai Super Kings lift the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL) title and complete a fairy tale ending to such a wonderful season.
Playing against the best bowling attack of the tournament, the veteran Australian all-rounder sent the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers for leather hunt with his power hitting.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Watson’s special knock in the final.

IPL 2018 has probably given his retirement a second wind. #IPL2018Final
Shane Watson - the only man to twice be IPL man of the tournament, and now a centurion in an IPL final - is one of the greatest T20 cricketers of all time

Big match players... shine on the big stage. Shane Watson just took to the stage; like he owns it @IPL #Final @ChennaiIPL #CSKvSRH

It's fitting that Shane Watson wins this final for CSK with a hundred since he was the biggest star of the inaugural ipl in 2008 and primarily why CSK lost to RR back then. Congratulations #csk #IPLfinal2018 #SRHvsCSK
