Sunrisers Hyderabad Pacer T Natarajan Ruled Out Of IPL 2021

Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler T Natarajan is all set to miss the remainder of IPL 2021 with an aggravated knee injury. He has played only two matches this season and Sunrisers Hyderabad may have to look for a replacement. So far, Hyderabad have played Khaleel Ahmed as his replacement, who has done reasonably well in the two matches so far.

As per reports in Cricbuzz, the pacer could be asked to report back to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore. At what stage the problem became serious is not known but T Natarajan, who spent about two months at the NCA after the Australia tour, did not take part in the last two IPL games for SRH. His last game was against Kolkata Knight Riders in Chennai on April 11.

The news comes as a shocker as Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper David Warner didn’t hint anything about this while speaking at the end of the game against Punjab Kings. Warner stated that T Natarajan is suffering from a sore knee and the physios are monitoring the injury at the moment.

“He has obviously got a sore knee. Given the circumstance in these bubbles, if he goes and gets a scan, he obviously has to sit out for seven days. He has to get back in quarantine. We are just monitoring him at the moment. The physios are doing their best to analyse from a face point of view but he obviously has to go out and get a scan at some point,” Warner said on Wednesday.

However, there has been official word from Sunrisers Hyderabad. So far, T Natarajan has been with the squad in the bubble. David Warner & Co secured their first win of IPL 2021 against Punjab Kings after losing three matches on a trot. They currently trail at the bottom of the points table and will hope to keep their winning run going to climb up the ladder and keep their hopes alive in the competition.
