Missed Natarajan in T20 World Cup-

Then Natarajan also made a big impression on his first T20I series against Australia but unfortunately, a few months later he suffered a knee injury and missed cricket for a long time, including the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Shastri admitted that India missed Natarajan in the T20 World Cup and he would definitely have been in the team but an injury spoiled all planning.

There are many reasons to miss-

“Very happy for him. We missed him in the World Cup. Had he been fit, he would definitely have been in the team. He got injured against England when we were playing the one-day series,” Shastri told ESPNcricinfo. And we were really missing him in the World Cup. He’s a specialist death bowler, who throws yorkers very efficiently. He has great control. He’s skiddy. He’s a little quicker than you’d think and bats well. hits.”

Great comeback in IPL 2022-

Shastri’s tenure as Team India‘s head coach came to an end after the 2021 T20 WC, where India were knocked out of the group stage following defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand.

The former head coach further spoke about the time when he gave Natarajan a chance during his tenure. He said, ‘Whichever match I have picked him, we have won. India won on his debut in T20, India won on his debut in Test cricket as well.”

Natarajan put up a stellar performance against Lucknow Super Giants at DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai on Monday. The left-arm seamer took two wickets for just 26 runs. KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya came in the final over, as SRH restricted LSG to 169/7.
