Video goes viral on social media
The adorable video in which Shane Watson could be seen giving an autograph to his son and signing a cap for him was posted by the official Twitter handle of KFC Big Bash League.
The video was even admired by several Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans. Watson played for the CSK in the previous IPL season. Watson helped CSK lift their third IPL trophy as he slammed a century in the final against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Hugs and kisses
Watson, who was leading the Sydney Thunder in the match, was deeply moved by the loving gesture of his son Will.
The cricketer not only gave an autograph to the little one but also planted a kiss on his son's lips to make the occasion even more special.
