Jaipur, May 12 (PTI) Rajasthan Royals' Australian all-rounder Shane Watson says he is ready to take over the IPL franchise's captaincy after his compatriot and spin wizard Shane Warne retires at the end of this edition of the Twenty20 event.
Watson said there is competition for the role of captain though he did not take names.
"Yes, I would love to lead the side in Shane Warne's absence but there are few others in contention," Watson said after his side was outclassed by nine wickets in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore last night.
Rajasthan have very little hopes of making the play-offs and Watson said the team would do everything to win the remaining two matches to make it a memorable ending for Warne.
