Team India's newly found young talent T Natarajan has impressed everyone with the ball. While he has been slowly becoming India's one of the key players, he believes that being a left-arm pace bowler he has the advantage as there are hardly a few bowlers who have the similar quality in the senior side as of now. It is also noteworthy that, Natarajan made his debut across formats during the recently-concluded series against Australia and he has impressed everyone despite the fact that he has played a few games in the first-class cricket.
"The main reason for me playing all the formats has to go towards my practice and all my coaches, they would have known about my strength in the formats so they gave me a chance to play in all formats. I am a left-armer so that works as an advantage for me," said Natarajan in a recent press conference.
Howveer, after having a successful Indian Premier League last year in the UAE, he was selected as a net bowler for the Australia series, but later he made his debut for the country in all three formats and picked up three wickets, including Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Wade in the first innings of his debut Test at Gabba as well.
"I always believe in my strength. I will try to support the Salem cricket association as much as I can. It is because of people's support that I am here. People know how I came here, if one does hard word he can achieve anything. I could not meet you all when I returned, I thank the media and all who supported me," he again shared.
Moreover, the young pacer also said how the veteran campaigner Ravichandran Ashwin helped him throughout the series and how his advice helped him to do well in the tour. Notably, they both have played together for Tamil Nadu and in Tamil Nadu Premier League, etc. as well.
"We have already played jointly in many games for Tamil Nadu, Tamil Nadu Premier League, etc. He is very friendly and always calls me Nattu," added Natarajan.
On the other hand, after winning the final game and retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, team India are now preparing for the upcoming series against England, which is slated to begin next month.
