All-rounder Naman Dhir delivered a crucial blow in the third T20I against the West Indies, dismissing a dangerous Kamil Pooran. Pooran had launched an aggressive assault in the 11th over, hitting Dhir for three sixes. However, Dhir responded emphatically by taking Pooran's wicket on the final ball of the over.
The dismissal of Pooran, who had scored a rapid 42 off 27 deliveries, proved significant, leaving the West Indies at 105/4. This wicket highlighted Dhir's impactful bowling in the series.
Dhir has been a consistent performer with the ball. He impressed on his debut in the first T20I, taking three wickets. Although he went wicketless in the second game, he has since taken two crucial wickets in the ongoing match, including that of Shimron Hetmyer.
With India searching for reliable all-rounders in Hardik Pandya's absence, Dhir's wicket-taking ability is a major positive for the team management.
