IPL 2022: Daniel Vettori – T Natarajan After a scintillating performance in IPL 2022, T Natarajan has become one of the contenders for the Purple cap.

New Zealand great Daniel Vettori feels that the left-arm pacer can be pivotal to team India’s success heading into the T20 World Cup. Follow all the IPL 2022 live updates on InsideSport.IN

IPL 2022: Daniel Vettori wants T Natarajan’s comeback in India squad, says ‘SRH pacer gives Rohit Sharma and Dravid so many options’
“He comes into play because of the skill sets and what he offers at the death. We see time and time again how hard it is to bowl at the death, how hard it is to execute and how really a bowler does it consistently. We know Natarajan’s got enough of a track record to suggest he can pull it off. He may not force his way into a playing XI, but in a 15-man squad, he gives Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid so many options around their selection,” Vettori told ESPNCricinfo.
“We shouldn’t underestimate the fact that T Natarajan coming back into the team and the form that he has shown… He’s been able to balance out that attack in a lot of ways. He’s been able to bowl anywhere, but we know how exceptional he can be at the death,” he added.
- Natarajan, 31, has been excellent in IPL 2022. He is the leading pacer with 15 wickets at 14.53 and bowls at an economy rate of 8.07.
- He had last played for India in T20I against England after which injury cut short his IPL 2021.
- He can be one of the weapons in T20 WC as India missed a left-arm pacer in the last edition of the showpiece event.
