Naman Dhir compensated for his poor effort just a couple of balls before when he misjudged a catch that was travelling towards the boundary and burst through his hands, as he dove forward to grab one sharp catch as it almost crashed into the field.
The Mumbai Indians finally handed Naman Dhir a deserving role in their playing XI, as he was promoted to the playing XI. He kept the skipper’s fate with the bat, but that was not the story on the field until he grabbed one with a stunning diving effort.
Naman Dhir compensates with a stunning diving catch to dismiss Shreyas Iyer
The Mumbai Indians have lacked something or the other across all departments in the game against the Punjab Kings, and to add to it, Naman Dhir missed the catch on the first ball of Shardul Thakur’s 16th over of the game.
Naman Dhir dove forward after two balls when Shreyas once again flicked a ball off his pads, looking for a third six in the over. He took a sharp catch on the field and compensated for his past mistake, handing Shardul another consolation wicket.
However, nothing takes the glory away from his stunning effort on the field. It was some catching done by the youngster who made it look relatively easy, but it was originally a judgment of the highest calibre.

MI’s awful fielding served as one of the central reasons for MI’s defeat to PBKS
Mumbai Indians lost their fourth straight game this season, and Hardik Pandya might no longer be able to reason with the team’s recent performances. The captain has been considerate of his team’s efforts on the field; however, it is high time for him to react.
