"It (the IPL stint) got my confidence up as a player. It allowed me to come back to the Australian team. It was a massive turning point to play on such a big stage," Shane Watson said.

"The captaincy and coaching ability of Warne was a great learning experience. I learnt how to control my emotions," he added.

"In 2007 World Cup semi-finals against South Africa, I was really pumped up but didn't do so well. So it's great to be involved in such a great win. It's one of the real highs of my career and very, very special for everyone in the changing room," he said.

"Hayden and Gilchrist are huge boots to fill the void.

"I'm just trying to be as best I can be," he said.
