Shane Watson has said there is no need for changing batting order of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, as it gives a momentum to the team.

"This I saw happening in the previous season when I was playing as a rival for Rajasthan Royals. So, why should one change the order when the top three are delivering," said the Australian.

"You need to take early wickets, otherwise you are in deep trouble," he added.

Asked about his improving relations with Gayle, Watson said it is amazing that a couple of commercials provided an opportunity for both to know each other better.

"Relations with Gayle has been very good so far," explained Watson, adding, "We had couple of commercials as well which gave us a chance to know each other better after few run-ins in the past.

"Don't know how it works when I am playing alongside him in one team. This is the beauty of cricket."
