SRH bowling attack spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar was full of praise for Natarajan's performance, which saw them win for the fifth time in seven matches. Natarajan made good use of his change of pace and was effective with the yorkers, making it difficult for the Capitals batsmen to line him up:
"We know how good he is when it comes to Yorkers. He is someone who keeps working hard, a silent guy who goes unnoticed most of the time. But he has been a star for us for so many years playing for SRH. We know how important he is for us, he is truly a match-winner."
For years, SRH has been known to win games in the IPL on the strength of their bowling. But for a change, their batsmen were firing in unison and Bhuvneshwar, who took 1 for 33 from his four overs, was happy for the bowlers to take a back seat. But he also had a word of caution for them.
