MatchesBorn on April 4, 1991, in Salem, Tamil Nadu, T. Natarajan is a premier left-arm fast known for his precision and composure. Operating at a steady pace of 130–140 km/h, his standout attribute is the ability to fire in lethal, toe-crushing yorkers at will, a skill that is extremely vital in modern day T20 cricket. Natarajan’s journey is one of resilience, rising from tennis-ball cricket to making a historic all-format international debut on a single tour in Australia (2020–21). Natarajan made his TATA IPL debut in 2017 after being signed by Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) for a notable INR 3 Crore. However, his career truly skyrocketed during his lengthy stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad (2018–2024), where he evolved into one of the league's most lethal death-over specialists especially in the 2024 season where he picked 19 wickets. Natarajan was acquired by Delhi Capitals for a staggering INR 10.75 Crore in the 2025 Mega Auction. After retaining him ahead of the 2026 season of TATA IPL, Natarajan's expertise at the death and his ability to dismantle top-tier batters under pressure will be the final piece of the Capitals' championship puzzle.
