Shane Watson, the former veteran all-rounder of Australia and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team, has apologized to RCB fans for his poor performance in the final match of IPL 2024. It is noteworthy that the final match of that season of IPL was played between Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

In this match, Hyderabad won the IPL title for the first time by defeating Bengaluru by 8 runs. So, if we look at Watson’s performance with bat and ball in this match, he scored 61 runs in 4 overs, and scored only 11 runs in 9 balls with bat. However, now this veteran all-rounder has apologized to RCB fans.

Shane Watson apologized to RCB fans

Let us tell you that recently Shane Watson had come to Presidency University in Bengaluru to participate in a program regarding his new book ‘The Winner’s Mindset’. Here Watson said- I wholeheartedly apologize to all the RCB fans present here tonight. I need to apologize to RCB fans because the 2016 IPL final was held at Chinnaswamy Stadium. I was completely prepared for this match.

I was hoping to do my best, but my performance was one of the worst when it comes to bowling in the final, and it was probably because of me that RCB lost that IPL.
