Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has reportedly retired from the Indian Premier League (IPL) after Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the franchise he represented, failed to qualify for the playoffs this season.

Although neither Watson, 39, tweeted about his retirement nor was there any statement from CSK, media reports claimed that the Aussie had apparently informed the CSK management that it was his last season in the IPL. Watson's last tweet was posted on October 30, and it was not about his retirement.
