Both the overseas players are likely to bat in the top order for CSK. Watson has been an established opening batsman for the three-time champions – he scored 555 runs in CSK's title-winning 2018 season.
Du Plessis, the batsman from South Africa, scored 396 runs at 36 for CSK last season and he could take the spot vacated at No. 3 by Suresh Raina, who pulled out of IPL 2020 for personal reasons.
CSK will be lead by MS Dhoni, who recently announced his retirement from international cricket, and the 39-year-old is gearing up for the tournament by practising his big hits in the nets and practice games.
Watson shared a video on social media earlier on Sunday showing Dhoni practising long-range hitting in the nets and hitting a ball out of the ground during a practice match.
