Shane Watson's ton helps Chennai lift 3rd IPL title, Twitter goes wild
Shane Watson played a ruthless knock to steer Chennai to their third IPL title as they defeated Hyderabad by eight wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Watson blazed unbeaten 117 off 57 deliveries, making it the highest score ever made in an IPL final, to guide MS Dhoni's side to victory with nine balls to spare.
The Australian shared a second-wicket stand of 117 with Suresh Raina as Chennai comfortably chased down challenging 179.

IPL 2018 has probably given his retirement a second wind. #IPL2018Final
Shane Watson - the only man to twice be IPL man of the tournament, and now a centurion in an IPL final - is one of the greatest T20 cricketers of all time
