IPL 2022: Ravi Shastri aays India “Really Missed” this star bowler in T20 World Cup

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri praised India fast bowler T Natarajan following his exploits in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. Shastri also said that the Indian team missed the services of the left-arm pacer during the T20 World Cup, labelling him as “a specialist death bowler”.

“Very happy for him. We missed him in the World Cup. He would’ve been a certainty had he been fit. He got injured against England when we were playing the ODI series and we really missed him (in the World Cup). He’s that specialist death bowler, bowls those yorkers very skillfully. He’s got great control. He is skiddy. A bit quicker than you think and hits the bat,” Shastri said.

“Every game I’ve picked him we won. In his debut in T20, India win. In his debut in Test cricket, India win. From a net bowler, he played those other two formats,” he added.
