The Tamil Nadu pacer was not a regular leather-ball player until 2012 but was a champion tennis ball player for his local team in Chinnappampatti, a place near Salem. He Eventually moved up the ladder to play in the first division league under TNCA. Later he debuted against Bengal in 2015-16 for first class cricket but luck didn't favour the guy. But he made a roaring comeback in the Tamil Nadu premier League, playing for Dindigul Dragons. T Natarajan hails from a very poor background and it is not the highlight. The highlight is that you be rich or poor but if you have talent, it is going to be recognized. If not anywhere, definitely in IPL. After all the motto of IPL was the same, encourage the local Indian cricketers and groom them for a bigger stage. T Natarajan is a left-hand pacer who can bowl the cutters and yorkers during the crunch time. He made a lot of news with his death bowling in the Tamilnadu premier league.

He was not handpicked just like that but had been called for trials by five franchises. Finally, he is in the place where he would not even have dreamt of. His father is a daily-wage worker and his mother is a street-side vendor. It is difficult for parents to dream of such a huge opportunity for their children.
