T Natarajan shines in the Indian Premier League

T Natarajan had a great IPL 2020 season where he had to fit in the role of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar for the SRH team. The left-arm fast bowler came to be known as a death over specialist when he took 16 wickets in 16 matches with an economy of 8.02 in the IPL 2020 season. In his complete IPL career, Natarajan has taken 20 wickets in 24 matches with an economy of 8.62.

In the IPL 2021 season, Natarajan played only 2 matches while taking 2 wickets. Surprisingly enough, T Natarajan was first bought by the Punjab Kings in IPL 2017 and the T Natarajan IPL price was INR 3 crore, although he couldn’t make much of an impact in 2017. Later he was purchased by the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the T Natarajan IPL price has remained at INR 40 lakh. Fans would be hoping for a quick and complete recovery of the yorker specialist in the hope of his return in the remaining portion of the IPL 2021 season to support David Warner and the SRH team.
