The young Indian fast bowler T Natarajan has revealed the man behind  his success in IPl 2020.

India fast bowler T. Natarajan has revealed what advice MS Dhoni gave him during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 that has proved to be "useful" for him. Natarajan, who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), emerged as one of the stars last season in the IPL, having picked up 16 wickets in as many matches. It was his just second year in the IPL.

In 2017, he was the highest-paid uncapped Indian player, picked up by Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). However, he made just six appearances for Punjab that season and he never played again in the league until 2020.

While Afghan spinner Rashid Khan bagged most wickets for SRH in IPL 2020 - 20 scalps, Natarajan was second on the list with 16 wickets. Among the dismissals he made in the 13th edition of the tournament, which was played in the UAE due to the pandemic, Natarajan dismissed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Dhoni. Natarajan got Dhoni's precious scalp during SRH and CSK's second meeting in the IPL 2020.

He dismissed the former Indian captain in the penultimate over of the first innings, who was caught by Kane Williamson at extra-cover. It was a special wicket for Natarajan, who had earlier told Ravichandran Ashwin in a chat that he wanted to bag Dhoni's wicket.
