T. Natarajan
Thangarasu Natarajan (born 4 April 1991) is an Indian international cricketer. He made his debut for the India cricket team in December 2020. Currently he plays for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and for Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket. He became the first Indian cricketer to make his international debut across all three formats on the same tour when he was playing in India's 2020–21 tour of Australia.
Natarajan was born in a Tamil family in Chinnappampatti, a village near Salem in Tamil Nadu. His father S. Thangarasu, was a weaver working on a powerloom, and his mother runs a fast-food stall. Natarajan is the eldest of five children.
Natarajan married his schoolmate Pavithra in June 2018. In November 2020, his wife gave birth to their daughter.
Natarajan made his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in the 2014–15 Ranji Trophy on 5 January 2015. He made his Twenty20 debut for Tamil Nadu in the 2016–17 Inter State Twenty-20 Tournament on 29 January 2017. He made his List A debut for Tamil Nadu in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 20 September 2018.
In February 2017, Natarajan was bought by the Kings XI Punjab team for the 2017 Indian Premier League for ₹3 crore (equivalent to ₹4.2 crore or US$500,000 in 2023). In January 2018, he was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2018 IPL auction.
On 26 October 2020, Natarajan was named as one of four additional bowlers to travel with the India cricket team for their tour to Australia. On 9 November 2020, he was added to India's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad, replacing Varun Chakravarthy who was ruled out due to an injury. Ahead of the first One Day International (ODI) match, he was added to India's squad as a cover for Navdeep Saini, who was suffering with a back spasm. Natarajan made his ODI debut for India against Australia on 2 December 2020.
Natarajan made his T20I debut for India, in the first T20I against Australia, on 4 December 2020, taking 3/30. In the second T20I, Natarajan picked 2/20 in his 4 overs in a high-scoring match. Natarajan's yorkers, cutters and pace variations in the death overs drew praise. He had figures of 1/33 in the third T20I as India won the series 2–1.
On 30 December 2020, Natarajan was added to India's Test squad ahead of the third match against Australia. He made his Test debut against Australia on 15 January 2021, dismissing Matthew Wade for his first international Test wicket.
