Naman Dhir shines in T20 series against New Zealand, receives special medal

According to ABP Asmita's report, India's young player Naman Dhir has emerged as a new star in the T20 series against New Zealand. This was his career's very first overseas tour, in which he batted in the lower order to score a total of 138 runs and impressed everyone. Naman Dhir has been honored with the 'Impact Player of the Series' medal for this series by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Due to this powerful performance of his, he has also emerged as an alternative to Ravindra Jadeja.

In this tour, the Indian team won against New Zealand by 3-2. During the series, star players like Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma could not do anything special in batting except for one or two innings. Apart from this, bowlers ranging from Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mayank Yadav were heavily pounded in this series. While making a comeback, Bhuvneshwar Kumar played 4 matches, in which he could take only 1 wicket and his economy rate remained above 11 as well.

Naman Dhir is a middle-order batsman and can also bowl off-spin. However, compared to New Zealand, he got more opportunities to bowl in the series against West Indies. Naman Dhir participated in all 5 T20 matches of the New Zealand tour. He batted at the 6th, 7th and 8th positions and smashed 138 runs in 5 innings at a blistering strike rate of 200. Being a right-arm off-spinner, Naman Dhir bowled only 2 overs throughout the series. Despite batting in the lower order, he became India's second-highest run-scorer in this series.

The BCCI has shared a video clip on social media, showing that Naman Dhir has been chosen as the 'Impact Player of the Series' and is being given the medal. Team India's strength and conditioning coach Adrian le Roux presented this medal to Naman.

After receiving the medal, Team India's players playfully shouted that Naman should give a two-minute speech. After receiving this honor, Naman thanked all his fellow players. Expressing his feelings, he stated that going outside the country to get a medal, winning the series and then getting honored in this manner is a very satisfying experience.
