“Naman Dhir, what a talent, man ! Last game, 24 off 6, and today, 42 off 15 in a 226 chase when the team was in trouble. Finally, India have got a finisher who can bowl as well !” another said

“Naman Dhir – India's Next Big Finisher? Naman Dhir delivered a sensational finishing performance, smashing 42 runs off just 15 balls under pressure during the run chase. He finished the game in style with a six! Is Team India getting its next explosive finisher in Naman Dhir?” a third asked
