Cricket ground
D. Natarajan is the left-handed fast bowler of the Indian cricket team, known as the ‘King of Yorkers’. IPL Cricket for Hyderabad Sunrisers and TNPL Palsi also plays for Trichy in cricket. Natarajan’s dream was to build a cricket ground with all facilities in his hometown, Salem district, Chinnapampatti.
Accordingly, he built a stadium with 4 pitches, 2 practice tracks, gym, canteen and seating for 100 people to watch the match. The opening ceremony of this stadium established in his name by Natarajan Cricket Academy took place yesterday.
Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik inaugurated the stadium as a special guest. He said:-
Natarajan is a very interesting man. His cricketing journey was not an ordinary one. His journey of gradually progressing from the grassroots will inspire others. Many people forget the people who helped them after growing up in cricket. But Natarajan was not like that. He never forgets those who helped him. That’s what I like about him. The fact that his coach JP is still around him is proof of that.
After Tony…
Tony was the first to prove that you can come from a small town and achieve big things. Natarajan came from a small town like him and made an impact in the cricket arena. The recent IPL Why didn’t Natarajan play for India after the series? That’s what former Australian players Mathew Hayden and Ponting asked me. He has made such an impact. That is his specialty.
I have been playing for the Indian team for a long time. Even I never thought of building such a stadium. But Natarajan has done this so that players who are struggling like him should progress. I am proud of him for that.
Thus spoke Dinesh Karthik.
Natarajan speech
Natarajan, a 32-year-old cricketer, said, ‘It is a fact that I have seen from experience that talented players can come forward with their skills even in urban areas or in small villages. I am an example of that. The future youth must work diligently with dedication and achieve many achievements. By building this stadium, my long-time dream has been fulfilled” he said.
District Superintendent of Police Sivakumar, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association President Ashok Chikamani, Secretary Palani, Chennai Super Kings Team CEO Kasi Viswanathan, cricketers Washington Sundar, Varun Chakraborty, Vijay Shankar, Sai Kishore, actors Yogi Babu, Padava Gopi, Prem and Natarajan’s family were present at the ceremony. , relatives and villagers participated.
