India won the series against Australia by 2-1 and it was a collective performance when it comes to the batting. However, it was the debutant Natarajan who was the stand out performer with the ball and bowled very well against Australia in Australia.
Natarajan picked 5 wickets in the series and gave away less runs compared to other bowlers in India.
However, Hardik Pandya won the player of the series award for his fireworks.
Pandya took to social media to write that Natarajan was his player of the series and shared a beautiful picture with him.
Here is the tweet-
“Natarajan, you were outstanding this series. To perform brilliantly in difficult conditions on your India debut speaks volumes of your talent and hardwork 👏 You deserve Man of the Series from my side bhai! Congratulations to #TeamIndia on the win 🇮🇳🏆”
During the 2nd T20I, where Pandya was awarded the player of the series, he went on to say that Natarajan deserved it more than him.
While India won the first two matches of the series, Australia bounced back to win the 3rd one, thanks to the brilliance of Wade with the bat and Swepson with the ball.
Now, the teams will move on to play the Test series which will begin in a few days.
