Arguably the finest limited-overs all-rounder of the modern era, Shane Watson was the ideal package for white-ball cricket. He had the power game, could handle pace and spin with equal ease apart from being a clever medium pacer himself. Like most all-rounders, he also began his international career in the middle order before eventually being promoted as an opener. It was while batting at the top of the innings that Watson made some of his most destructive knocks - notably the semi-final and final knocks of the 2009 Champions Trophy where he almost single-handedly took Australia to the title.
