Melbourne
(ANI):
Bollywood
actress
Vidya
Balan
has
described
Australian
all-rounder
Shane
Watson
as
a
very
good
looking
man,
and
added
that
during
the
recently
held
Indian
Premier
League
Twenty20
tournament,
she
"couldn't
take
my
eyes
off
him." On
his
part,
Watson
said
he
felt
the
love
in
India
in
a
way
he
has
never
experienced
in
his
own
country.
"Even
though
it
was
Twenty20,
it
was
a
world-class
competition.
It
had
the
intensity,
the
crowds
and
I
felt
it
was
a
great
challenge.
Hopefully
it
works
favourably
on
my
case," said
Watson,
who
after
a
short
holiday
in
the
Maldives,
will
travel
to
England
for
a
six-week
stint
with
Hampshire.
The
most
important
thing
is
to
continue
to
string
games
together
and
improve,
and
I
know
I'll
be
playing
cricket
somewhere
...
My
dream
all
along
has
been
to
break
back
in
and
be
a
permanent
member
of
the
Australian
team," Fox
Sports
quoted
him,
as
saying.
Whether
he
will
hear
his
name
chanted
by
the
crowd,
as
he
did
in
Mumbai
last
week,
is
another
matter.
"I
hope
one
day
that
adulation
might
be
there
in
Australia
because
it's
my
home
country,
and
I
love
playing
in
Australia,
for
Australia,"
he
said.
A
member
of
Shane
Warne's
triumphant
Rajasthan
Royals,
Watson
said
the
intensity
of
the
IPL
was
comparable
with
international
cricket,
and
hoped
it
would
bring
redemption.
The
all-rounder
departed
India
with
472
runs
at
47
plus
17
wickets,
and
an
appreciation
of
life
as
an
IPL
heartthrob.
He
credited
his
skipper
in
the
IPL,
Shane
Warne
with
rebuilding
his
confidence
and
renowned
physiotherapist
Victor
Popov,
who
has
worked
with
the
Brisbane
Lions
and
Australian
cyclist
Robbie
McEwen,
with
rebuilding
his
body.
