WATCH: Rashid-Watson battle turns into VIRAL Memes

Watson had hit Khan for a blistering boundary off only his second delivery and Khan made sure to express his displeasure. Soon after the incident, Twitter was flooded with memes of the stare-down between the two players.

Shane Watson took 53 balls and hit nine fours and six sixes to attain a match-winning 96 as Chennai Super Kings zoomed back to the top of the table with a commanding six-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL clash at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday. What let down the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the bowling department was that their strike bowler Rashid Khan was brutally destroyed by Watson. With 1/44 coming off Rashid Khan’s four overs, it was clear that the star spinner was having an off day. Meanwhile, Watson was on a rampage that night as he was involved in a stare down battle with SRH's Rashid Khan. The star Aussie hit Khan for a blistering boundary off only his second delivery and Khan made sure to express his displeasure.

However, Khan didn’t fail to show his exceptional bowling skill even on an off day. Rashid bowled an awesome googly in the 10^th over to fox Raina as he missed it completely and wicket-keeper Bairstow whipped off the bails in a flash. Here's the video of awesome googly that stunned Raina...
