Naman Dhir is an Indian domestic all-rounder who plays for Punjab. Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians fetched his services for INR 20 lakhs in the auction for the 2024 season.

It was Dhir’s batting that first came to limelight. Playing his debut Ranji Trophy season in 2022-23, the Haryana-born left an immediate mark, smashing two centuries - one of which came in the quarter-final clash against Saurashtra. The off-spinner also snared three wickets in five innings with the best of 2-29 versus Vidarbha.

After displaying an impressive show in red-ball cricket, Dhir shifted his focus to Punjab T20 2023 where he batted like an unstoppable force. He piled up 466 runs in 12 games of the tournament at an average of 42.36 and a strike-take of 192.56, embodying the modern-day T20 batting. He was also the second-highest run-getter in the competition and brought his bowling skills to the fore, claiming eight scalps across 11 innings.

Although Dhir had a disappointing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023, amassing a mere 39 runs in four innings, Mumbai Indians, known for finding unknown gems, have invested in him by adding him to their pool of players for IPL 2024.
