India's fast bowler T Natarajan, who rose to fame after IPL 2020 and Australia tour, underwent surgery after suffering a knee injury. He was already ruled out of the IPL 14 last week.

Natarajan thanked the BCCI and medical team for taking care of him. He posted a tweet thanking everyone and attached a picture of himself from the hospital bed.

"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 tweeted.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer played only two matches this season before sitting out for the whole tournament. Fans and well-wishers of the Tamil Nadu cricketer wished for his speedy recovery. 

The 30-year-old never fully recovered from the knee injury because of the workload on the Australia tour and still went on to play against England and IPL 2021. He had gone for rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy after the Australia tour.
