MI’s decision to utilize the RTM card for Naman Dhir instead of Nehal Wadhera at the IPL auction surprised many, but it highlights their confidence in him. Dhir first caught the attention of MI scouts during the 2023 Sher-E-Punjab local T20 tournament, where he amassed 466 runs at an impressive strike rate of 191.
During IPL 2024, Dhir featured in seven matches, scoring 140 runs in as many innings. However, his unbeaten 62 off 28 balls in the final group-stage game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) demonstrated his potential.
Although his overall T20 statistics may not be exceptional, Dhir possesses a solid technique and an impressive range of strokes.
Dhir can also contribute with the ball as well with his right-arm off break. His improved bowling returns in domestic cricket would provide MI with more bowling options during the next season and consider him as an all-rounder in the team.
