Former Australia cricketer Shane Watson named the captains he liked being led. The all-rounder, who made his international debut in 2002, has played under many captains. Apart from his national side, Watson is a regular feature in different T20 leagues around the world.

Watson, who was part of the Rajasthan Royals' first IPL winning squad to Chennai Super Kings' last tournament win in 2018, has played under Indian captains as well. 

Talking to ESPN Cricinfo, Watson picked CSK skipper MS Dhoni, and Rahul Dravid, under whom he represented Rajasthan, as his favorite captains.

No surprise, the 38-year-old named Australia greats Shane Warne and Ricky Ponting on the list.

Watson was part of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side under Virat Kohli but he doesn't seem to be impressed with his leadership. Neither he named Michael Clarke or Steve Smith. 

The ex-Australia all-rounder was backed by Dhoni throughout the last season despite not delivering in the tournament regularly. He was backed and Watson showed results in the final. However, he couldn't take the team over the line as CSK lost the final by 1 run.
