Naman Dhir, who made his Team India debut in the ODI format in the 1st match of the ODI series against West Indies, opened up about the nature of the pitch in New Chandigarh and also acknowledged Ravindra Jadeja for providing him with timely tips to bowl better.
The India vs West Indies 3rd ODI is a dead rubber on paper, but extremely crucial for the India National Cricket Team as they are considering the ODI matches as preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup. India claimed wins in the previous two matches against the West Indies National Cricket Team in Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati, mostly because of their confident batting, not their bowling unit.
The bowling is keeping the Men in Blue, with some concerns, as most of the bowlers had conceded too many runs in the previous two matches. In the previous match, which was played at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, three West Indies batters scored a hundred each, and for the Indian cricket team, captain Shubman Gill registered a double century and a hundred was presented by Rohit Sharma.
Therefore, with the masterclasses by Gill and Sharma, India comfortably edged to claim the 406-run target. From the batting perspective, it was a great display, but from the bowlers' point of view, the match turned into a graveyard for them. While the bowlers like Auqib Nabi and Gurnoor Brar conceded too many runs in the match, Naman Dhir was exceptional with his economical spell.
Naman Dhir on the pitch for the India vs West Indies 3rd ODI
Will the pitch for the third match, which will be tomorrow at the PCA New Cricket Stadium in Tira, New Chandigarh, be a batting paradise, similar to the Guwahati deck? On the eve of the India vs West Indies 3rd ODI, during the pre-match press conference, Naman Dhir claimed that he was not aware of the nature of the pitch as, by then, he had not seen the pitch. Still, there could be a score around 290 to 300 if the surface supports the batter.
"I haven’t seen the wicket yet, so I can’t assess it at the moment. Maybe 290-300 can be a good score if it’s a good wicket," Naman Dhir remarked on the nature of the New Chandigarh pitch.
“As a bowling unit, we want to do better. We want to restrict the West Indies early because we leaked a lot of runs in the last match. Our fast bowlers will be handy in South Africa as well. I want to bat, yes, but we were happy with the performance. The plan was simple with the ball, and I didn’t try anything new," he added further about his batting and bowling.
Dhir mentioned the experienced spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja to provide him crucial support on the journey. Jadeja advised him to bowl according to the conditions of the matches.
“Jaddu bhai asked me to bowl according to the situation. He has been helpful," Dhir added.
"I’ll keep it simple; I’m playing on my home ground, so I just want to keep things simple. There haven’t been a lot of technical changes. I batted at No. 7 in the IPL. I guess I can bat in the top order and even in the lower order."
"I’ll speak about it": Naman Dhir on pitches being batting friendly
In both of the previous matches in the three-match series, the Indian cricket team did not require the batting prowess of Naman Dhir, but he was handy with the ball. In the previous
In the opening match of the contest, Dhir delivered 5 overs with an economy rate of 6.60, and his economy rate was 6.20 in the following match, bowling 6.1 overs. He is yet to take his first wicket for the Indian cricket team, but amid the run feast, he was successful in restricting the opposing batters from scoring runs.
"I’ll speak about it if the pitches are better suited for the bowlers," he continued.
