During the most recent IPL, I had a minor meniscus tear near my previous knee injury. I prepared completely for and participated in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy while training at the NCA (National Cricket Academy).
Sadly, a problem arose once more just before the Vijay Hazare Trophy. So the coaching staff advised me to rest and prepare fully for the match.
I’m plagued by misfortune whenever I’m almost on the radar for a national call-up. Sportstar quoted Natarajan as saying, “Hopefully, god-willing, if again I do well in the IPL. Maybe I’ll get considered this year.”
“The Indian Premier League has been the main factor for me in getting into the Indian team. Therefore, if I perform as well in the IPL as I did last year and stay injury-free. Hopefully, I will be considered,” he added.
The India bowler, who is 31 years old, has taken 38 wickets in 35 IPL matches at an economy of 8.65. Sunrisers Hyderabad has signed Natarajan to stay with them for the IPL 2023 season.
