Although he played in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final in November 2021 which Tamil Nadu won, he was not the same bowler as his knee kept giving away. After proper rest, medical care, systematic training and fitness schedule, Natarajan is back to bowling his normal self as he is sweating it out at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, preparing for the Ranji season and the IPL. “I am feeling fit and raring to go. My knee problem is a thing of the past. I have understood my body well and I am training hard to be in shape for the Ranji trophy and the IPL,’’ said Natarajan.
