The former Australian all-rounder was all praise for the Knight Riders for their way to make a comeback in the match despite the early setbacks.
This victory over the Mumbai Indians in their own backyard came for KKR after waiting for 12 years. The last of the wins came way back in 2012.
After being invited to bat first, Kolkata Knight riders could only manage a score of 169 on the board, which was below par because Wankhede was a chasing ground.
The way Kkr fought back in the game was awe-inspiring for Shane Watson, seeing their will to win the match from that stage.
In his interaction with Jio Cenima Shane Watson said, “KKR had no right to win that game tonight after the position they were in five wickets down. It just shows the fight that they have and also some of the things that happened.
Some of the decisions that were made, whether that was bowling changes or batting lineup deployment, were very baffling, just to really give KKR the upper hand in a game that was just on a knife’s edge at certain times.”
Shane Watson further added that this victory over the Mumbai Indians will give a lot of confidence to the side heading into the tournament because they will feel that they don’t always have to be at their best to win matches.
