T Natrajan captured the imagination of the Indian cricket fans on India's tour of Australia in 2020-21.
Natarajan made his debut in all the three formats on the tour. He did a fine job for the side in the ODI series and the T20 series, bowling both in the powerplay and at the death and won India at least a couple of matches by nailing his yorkers.
The left arm angle also helped as the Australian batters, particularly the likes of Glen Maxwell and Aaron Finch were not able to get him away on a consistent basis.
The marquee test series win brought them plaudits from cricket fans from around the world.
Natrajan picked up three crucial wickets in the first innings of the Brisbane test. There was a moment when the partnership between Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Wade was blossoming and the Indian bowlers seemed to have no reply.
It was then that Nattu put the bowl on a hard length and dismissed both the batters who skied the ball while trying to nudge it towards the legs side and helped India change the momentum of the match.
From just 11 matches, Natrajan picked up 18 wickets at an impressive average of 22.5. He had the best of 3 for 10 and showed that despite injury and a couple of years having passed, he still has got that magic in his hands and can deliver for India if given an opportunity once again.
That said, it would be tough for Natrajan to break into the Indian set up now with several talented left arm pacers like Mohsin Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Arshdeep Singh and Chetan Sakariya ahead of him in the pecking order.
