Shane Watson Names Top-5 T20 Bowlers of All Time : Check His List Here!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsChennai Super Kings (CSK) star opener Shane Watson, is known to be one of the greatest all-rounders of all time. He has a plethora of titles to his name and an integral part in the success of the national team.
Looking at his IPL career, Watson has always been a target for top teams. He recently, named his list of top five T20 bowlers of all time in a Youtube video.
“The first one in my top 5 T20 bowlers of all time is the greatest T20 bowler, Lasith Malinga... his execution of yorkers is something that has not been seen before and might not be seen again for a long period of time,” Watson said in a video posted on T20 Stars' Youtube channel.
“Number two is Shahid Afridi. I am just talking about his bowling right now, he is obviously an incredibly dynamic batsman but from a bowling perspective, he is the perfect T20 bowler. He is a wicket-taker but also, he does not concede that many runs. And that is a T20 bowler you always need in your team,” he added.
Looking further into his list, Watson believes Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah's impact has been "absolutely phenomenal" and the India pacer will have a great career ahead. “He, for me, is an all-round package. He is only 26 at the moment but the dominance that he has had in T20 cricket so far as a bowler is absolutely phenomenal,” Watson said.
“He has got speed, he can swing the bowl both ways, he has got a great change of pace, his execution of his yorkers is incredible as well... Facing him is a huge challenge, he has got so many different high-quality bowling options and you have to be absolutely on your game to be able to score and put him under pressure. I am sure he will be absolutely great at the end of his career in T20 cricket alone with incredible skills that he has got,” he also added.
Watson further named CSK teammate Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine as the other two bowlers in his list of all-time great bowlers.
