Chennai: Around 5,000 people turned up to receive one of India’s latest bowling sensation, T. Natarajan, and took him in a horse-drawn tastefully-decorated chariot for two kilometres in his native village Chinnappampatti in Salem district on Thursday.
Left-arm pacer Natarajan made his India debut in all three formats during the recent tour of Australia, and played a role in India’s three-wicket win in the fourth and final Test in Brisbane on his debut.
Natarajan, who picked three wickets for 78 runs in the first innings to help India win the match — and the series 2-1 — was taken on a horse-drawn chariot for about two kilometres.
