Shattered with Dean Jones' death: Shane Watson

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shane Watson paid tribute to his late Australian great Dean Jones, he said that the former Australia veteran gone over the limits to deliver the best from his side always cared about people who were less fortunate.

"I'm shattered that such a person isn't with us anymore. In the last four years, I got to know him very well. He was also my coach at Islamabad United for two years. I got to know him very well after I stopped playing for Australia. Jones always wanted to learn more and get better," Watson said on his YouTube show 'The Debrief'.

"He always pushed the limits to get better. Another thing for which I adored him was that he cared for other people. He wanted to give back to people who weren't as fortunate as he was. My heart goes out to Jones' family and Brett Lee, who did every possible thing to keep the great man alive," he added.

The veteran all-rounder also revealed that just two days prior to the CSK's matchagainst Delhi Capitals where they were defeated 44 runs on Friday, his grandmother also passed away back in Australia.

"My grandma (mother of my mother) passed away on Wednesday. I want to send my love to my family back at home and I know how incredible mom was my grandmother to my mom. My heart goes out to my family at home. I'm sorry that I can't be there right now. My love goes to you," the 39-year-old said.
