IPL 2026 Auction: Forgotten Till 29, Now Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals Take Notice — Will Auqib Nabi’s Fortune Finally Turn?

New Delhi: The countdown to the IPL 2026 mini auction has ended, with the first major event of the league’s 19th season set to unfold on December 16 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

From Selling Fish on the Streets to an IPL Crore Deal: The Rise and Fade of T. Natarajan

New Delhi: Cricket has often been a vehicle of dreams in India, but few stories are as dramatic—and bittersweet—as that of left-arm fast bowler T. Natarajan. His journey reads like a film script: a meteoric rise from poverty to international fame, followed by a sudden fade into obscurity despite immense talent and success. As the IPL 2026 mini auction takes place in Abu Dhabi on December 16, Natarajan’s story serves as a reminder of how unforgiving professional sport can be.

His father worked as a daily wage labourer, while his mother sold fish by the roadside to support the family. Even arranging two meals a day was often a challenge. Natarajan’s introduction to cricket came...
