0

The
former
Aussie
cricketer
says
he
is
well-acclimatised
with
the
weather
and
therefore,
felt
an
immediate
connection
with
the
state’s
atmosphere
when
he
landed
in
Jodhpur.

The
Aussie
legend
will
be
donning
the
jersey
of
Bhilwara
Kings
and
said
that
the
state
of
Rajasthan
is
like
his
second
home.

“I
am
back
home.
I
have
so
many
incredible
memories
of
playing
in
the
state.
I
felt
that
connection
again
when
I
landed
in
Jodhpur
today.
The
fans
of
the
state
love
me
and
I
am
always
humbled
by
their
support.
I
am
looking
forward
to
playing
here,”
Watson
said
in
a
press
conference
on
Friday.

Former
New
Zealand
captain
Ross
Taylor,
former
India
pacer
S
Sreesanth,
Ireland
great
Kevin
O’Brien
and
Raman
Raheja,
Co-Founder
and
CEO
of
Legends
League
Cricket
also
attended
the
press
conference.

Watson
said
the
competition
is
high
among
the
four
teams
and
he
will
try
to
push
the
boundaries.
With
two
matches
left,
all
four
teams

Gujarat
Giants,
Bhilwara
Kings,
India
Capitals
and
Manipal
Tigers

are
in
contention
to
clinch
the
playoffs
berth.

“I
am
following
the
tournament.
It’s
great
to
be
here.
I
am
well
prepared.
I
know
all
the
guys
have
been
pushing
their
bodies
to
the
limit.
That’s
the
commitment
we
always
had
towards
the
game.
So
it’s
not
surprising
to
me.
There’s
nothing
like
whether
you
have
retired
or
not.
You
are
always
trying
to
push
the
boundaries
when
you
are
playing
the
game.
With
everyone
giving
their
best,
I
will
also
try
to
push
the
boundaries,”
the
41-year-old
said.

Watson’s
assessment
of
the
tournament
is
indeed
true.
The
game
has
seen
tremendous
competitive
spirit
among
the
cricketers.
From
Mohammed
Kaif
and
Muttiah
Muralidharan
taking
brilliant
catches
in
the
field
to
pacers
Fidel
Edwards
and
Tino
Best
peppering
the
batters
with
bouncers,
the
cricketers
have
refused
to
yield
an
inch
without
a
fight.

Taylor
agreed
with
Watson
too.
“Competitiveness
kicks
in
when
you
cross
the
rope.
I
am
really
happy
with
the
way
the
legends
have
played
the
game.
We
have
shown
a
lot
of
spirit
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
playing
the
matches
with
more
vigour,”
he
said.
