“I’m sad to miss the remaining games this season. Since I played well last season and went on to play for India, my expectations were high. Unfortunately, I have to undergo knee surgery and will miss my season. Thank you SRH family, support staff and players. They supported and motivated me a lot. I’m going to miss the SRH family this season. I have no words to say right now. I wish SunRisers go out and win every game. Best wishes,” Natarajan said in a video posted by SRH’s official Twitter handle.
