The best way for an outsider to get into the hearts of Tamilians is to learn to appreciate their cinema and pop culture. Shane Watson got a straight A on that account from Tamil fans by playing the iconic Ilaiyaraaja song “En Iniya Pon Nilave” from Moodu Pani on the guitar.

The former Australian cricketer was recently part of a promo of Star Sports, which played out as an interview. When the pretend interviewer asked what is the special talent Watson has, he took out a guitar and played the prelude of “En Iniya Pon Nilave”. That has floored Tamil fans, who have made the clip viral.

Here’s the clip:

Shane Watson is already a favourite in Tamil Nadu as he has been a key player of Chennai Super Kings for three consecutive years since 2018. The all-rounder was an opener, who did wonders for CSK in the 2018 IPL and enabled the the team to win the title that year. He is still remembered and appreciated for his innings in the 2019 IPL final against Mumbai Indians. Watson, despite a severe injury in his leg, continued to play. He took the match to the final over, but CSK lost the match by one run. Later, his teammate Harbhajan Singh took to social media to post a picture of a blood-soaked pants and said Watson had to get six stitches for the injury.
