Dubai(Agencies): Former
Australian all-rounder Shane Watson on Saturday said it won't take long to
regain touch despite a bit of rustiness as he hit the nets with his Chennai
Super Kings teammates ahead of the 13th IPL beginning on September 19.
Rocked by a series of COVID-19
cases, Chennai Super Kings led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni could finally start
training on Friday after clearing a third round of testing for the virus.
"How exciting it was to
be back with all of my @ChennaiIPLmates for our first training session!!! It
was so much fun. There was a little rust that will not take long to go,"
Watson wrote on his twitter handle.
The 39-year-old, who was
bought by CSK ahead of the 2018 IPL, has scored 953 runs in 32 matches for the
franchise in the last two years, besides capturing six wickets.
His highest score was 117 not
out in the finals of the 2018 edition against SunRisers Hyderabad.
Watson is an important member
of the CSK team which has been left depleted after the pull out of senior
players Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh.
CSK was forced to delay its
training plan after Deepak Chahar and Ruturaj Gaikwad tested positive last week
along with 11 members of the contingent.
The 13th IPL is scheduled be
held from September 19 to November 10 across three venues — Dubai, Abu Dhabi,
and Sharjah. PTI
