Who Is THIS Former Hyderabad Bowler Debuting For Delhi In IPL 2025 News24 –

The Delhi Capitals selected T Natarajan to start in their playing lineup during a vital Indian Premier League contest against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Delhi Capitals recently demonstrated poor form in their matches, which created questions about their bowling performance. Natarajan first played for SRH in IPL 2020 and settled quickly into the team, staying with them till IPL 2024, which was also his most profitable season, where he returned 19 wickets in 14 matches. He was acquired by Delhi Capitals for a whopping amount of 10.75 crores in IPL 2025.

Which player did T Natarajan replace?

The out-of-form pacer Mukesh Kumar received a replacement from T Natarajan when the team manager selected the playing XI. IPL 2025 has been a disappointing period for Mukesh, who did not make the cut when Axar Patel selected the starting XI. Despite the difficult start in IPL 2025, the Bengal pacer remains active in Impact Subs, which makes him available for bowling in the second innings.

The SRH acquired pacer played for DC this evening after a successful bid of INR 10.75 crore, but his injury issues led to non-selection throughout the matches, thus making his debut match tonight.

Why was T Natarajan selected?

The left-arm pacer joined SRH before and thus understands every aspect of the squad. During his time with SRH, Natarajan obtained knowledge about dismissing Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma and now utilizes these skills, arming the SRH team.

The expert death overs performance capabilities of Natarajan make him a great choice for DC since others have shown weaknesses in their late-inning bowling attacks this season.
