CSK vs SRH: Why is T Natarajan Not Playing Today’s Match IPL?

After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Aiden Markram mentioned that T Natarajan is not part of the SRH Playing 11 for today’s CSK vs SRH IPL 2023 match. However, the left-arm pacer is absolutely fit and part of the five substitute members out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. Natarajan has not been in the best of forms so far in IPL 2023 season for the Sunrisers Hyderabad as he has picked up as many as 4 wickets from 5 games at an economy rate of 10.56. But he is very much likely to be included as the Impact Player during the second innings of this game against Chennai Super Kings.

“We’d have also bowled first. We had a good game against KKR batting first, so hopefully we can take a leaf out of that. I think we need to get the whole game good together, one skill is good and the other not as much, so we are working on it. If one of them is having a good night, they have to make it big. Hectic schedules but we are not complaining, the IPL allows us the chance to travel around and meet different fan bases. We’ve got the same 16 from the MI game, but since we are batting first here, there will be a change to the XI,” said Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Aiden Markram during the toss.
