A stellar Sher-E-Punjab season lead to Naman Dhir's maiden India call-upNaman Dhir is currently playing in his maiden series in the Indian colours. Already a proven star for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, the swashbuckler grabbed the eyeballs of the national selectors after he played a brilliant knock of 173 runs off 63 balls in the Sher-e-Punjab 2026. It wasn’t a solitary blinder of an innings; he played in that tournament, amassing 655 runs in 10 innings and featuring two centuries. Dhir showed such consistency that when he got in, he rarely failed to finish the game, helping his franchise, Amritsar Soormas, win. After John Campbell's departure, Indian bowlers staging a comebackAlthough Naman Dhir helped the Indian bowlers take two wickets, the West Indies are off to a flyer, reaching 158/2 after 20 overs. With John Campbell back in the hut after smashing a fiery century, the Indian camp gets some relief. However, the West Indian captain Shai Hope is still in the middle and batting beautifully as he is racing towards his 33rd ODI half-century. So far, the seamers have been substandard on the faster Guwahati conditions. Thus, the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and part-timer Naman Dhir will need to stage a comeback in the remaining innings if India need to restrict the Windies to a respectable total.
