Jasprit Bumrah: Team India's bowling attack has become very strong in the last few years. A lot of credit for this goes to Jasprit Bumrah. This pacer from Gujarat has single-handedly won many matches for the Indian team due to his dangerous bowling.

If he is in the team, the opposition team is already in panic. Be it ICC World Cup 2023 or T20 World Cup 2024, Bumrah's contribution in both these tournaments has been very important. However, Jasprit Bumrah's presence in the Indian team has closed the doors for many talented bowlers.

The list also includes the name of a promising player from Tamil Nadu, who has been out of the team for 3 years.

This player's career ruined because of Jasprit Bumrah!

T.Natrajan

Actually, the player we are talking about is T Natarajan.

The right-arm medium-fast bowler made his debut against Australia in 2020. However, just a year later, this 33-year-old cricketer was out of Team India.

He could play only one Test, 2 ODIs and 4 T20s for India. He got a chance to play for his country during the tenure of Virat Kohli-Ravi Shastri. After this, no other captain tried T Natarajan. Let us tell you that he has 3-3 wickets in Tests and ODIs and 7 wickets in T20. Even after being out of the team, he continued to perform brilliantly in the IPL.

This has been his performance in the last 3 IPL seasons

T Natarajan has had a great last three IPL seasons.

First of all, let's talk about IPL 2022. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 33-year-old player took a total of 18 wickets this season at an average of 22.56. There was a slight decline in his performance in IPL 2023.

Where Natarajan could take only 10 wickets in 12 matches. However, in IPL 2024, he once again showed how useful a bowler he is for his team. Last season, the right-arm pacer took 19 wickets in 14 matches. However, despite this, the selectors ignored him. At present, he is looking for ways to return to the team.
