If India’s miraculous comeback versus Australia in the four-match Test series is worthy of a documentary, T Natarajan’s emergence and his story so far can fetch great numbers at the Indian Box office if a biopic is made on his career thus far. Natarajan came into the scene with his deadly yorkers and overall death-overs bowling in IPL 2020, where he represented the David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and returned with 16 scalps from equal number of games.
Warner, thus, was thrilled to see his SRT teammate excel and lavished huge praise for Natarajan. “First thing I’d like to say is Vazhthukal Nattu, you’re an absolute legend. I’ve got so much time for you, you’re a great person on and off the field and I love having you in our team. Cheers!” Warner said on Sports Today.
The Aussie further asserted, “I was fortunate enough to captain Nattu. He’s an amazing guy, humble and a true gentleman. What a talent he is, we’ve just seen a guy who played unbelievably well in the IPL 2020, going on tour with the Indian team as a net bowler while sacrificing being there for the birth of his first child and then making his debut in all forms… what a magnificent achievement.”
“I couldn’t be any happier and pleased for him. I’m very pleased and excited to see what he has to offer in this year’s IPL as well. He knows what he has to do, he knows how to bowl in certain situations,” added Warner.
Warner went on further state, “The way we used him – outside the powerplay, maybe an over in the powerplay and bowling alongside Rashid Khan in partnership worked very well. I think he bowled 80 yorkers in the tournament which is an exceptional display of death bowling whenever he did come on. I’m extremely excited to see what he brings to the table this year. We saw first-hand yesterday the response that his home town gave him, it was extremely humbling to see. You had a guy there getting a thorough warm welcome for him and for what he’s achieved,” the SRH captain said on his premier pacer.
