"Today, I underwent knee surgery- and am grateful for the expertise, attention, and kindness of the medical team, surgeons, doctors, nurses, and staff. I’m grateful to BCCI and to all that have wished well for me," Natarajan wrote.
Natarajan, 30, had only appeared in two games for Sunrisers Hyderabad this season. He never completely recovered from his knee injury, according to reports, due to the heavy workload he faced on the Australian tour. He had gone to the National Cricket Academy for rehabilitation after his tour of Australia. Despite not being 100 percent match-ready, he is believed to have been deemed fit to play in the limited-overs series against England. With his yorkers at the death during the last IPL, Natarajan became an instant sensation, and he went on to play all three formats for India in Australia.
