The lastest fast bowling sensation in the Indian team, T Natarajan is “thrilled” to join the squad ahead of the fifth and the final T20I against England. Natarajan made his international debut in the limited-overs cricket against Australia in December 2020 while his first match in the longest format of the game came in January at Gabba, Brisbane.
Having missed the first four games of the T20I series against England due to a knee and shoulder injury, the pace sensation is now delighted to rejoin the Indian squad after completing his rehab at the National Cricket Academy. Tweeting about the same, T Natarajan wrote: “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life” – Thrilled to be back in blue with the boys @BCCI”.

Natarajan witnessed a phenomenal outing in the T20I series in Australia and skipper Virat Kohli had praised the youngster for his consistent showing. Virat had said, “Special mention for Natarajan, in the absence of (Mohammed) Shami and Jasprit (Bumrah), he stood out and really delivered under pressure. It is outstanding because he is playing his first few games at the international level.”

He further added, “He looks very composed, he is a humble and hard-working guy, he is sure of what he is doing. I hope he continues to keep working hard on his game and gets better because a left-arm bowler is an asset for any team and if he can keep bowling in this way consistently, it will be a great thing for us heading into the World Cup next year.”
Coming back to the ongoing T20I series, a blistering half-century from Suryakumar Yadav (57), followed by a brilliant performance from the bowlers, had helped the Indian team to register a series-leveling win in the fourth T20I of the ongoing series against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday evening.
