Bhuvneshwar Kumar Hails T Natarajan’s Heroics in DC vs SRH IPL 2024 Clash
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, SRH’s top bowler, praised T Natarajan for his ability to nail yorkers following his IPL bowling performance against DC on Saturday. Bhuvneshwar remarked on the post-match show:
“We know how good he’s (Natarajan) with his yorkers, he’s a silent guy who keeps working hard. He’s truly a matchwinner. Probably the first time our batting has clicked so well in so many years, as a bowling unit we are happy to take a bit of a backseat.”

He further lauded the SunRisers bowling unit for defending 266:
“Bowling is something that wins you matches, not sure who said it but they said “batting wins you sponsorships and bowling wins you championships”, I think that’s a great saying. The way we executed our plans is great.”
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
