Kishan says Dhir worked on his bowling skills

Ishan Kishan said Naman Dhir has worked hard on his bowling after the all-rounder took 3 for 31 on T20I debut against West Indies at Lucknow. Dhir dismissed Shai Hope, Romario Shepherd and Shamar Springer.

Kishan said he had seen Dhir bowl as a part-timer at Mumbai Indians but noticed a sharper approach on Tuesday. He praised Dhir for keeping flight after being hit for a six instead of turning defensive.

Dhir scored 318 IPL runs in 2026 without bowling a single over, but his international debut showed he can offer India another bowling option alongside his batting.
