Naman Dhir credits Ravindra Jadeja for series guidance

Naman Dhir said conversations with Ravindra Jadeja helped him during the West Indies ODI series. The Punjab all-rounder made his ODI debut in the first match and bowled six overs for 38 runs without a wicket in the second ODI in Guwahati.

Dhir said Jadeja advised him on line and length. He added that he focused on using the longer boundary for right-handers and avoided trying to do anything extra on his own during the high-scoring game where West Indies posted 405 for seven.

Dhir has not had a chance to bat in the first two matches. India named him as a replacement for Washington Sundar in the upcoming five-match T20I series against West Indies.
