Naman Dhir collects Impact Player of the Series medal after India beat New Zealand 3-2

Following a successful five-match T20I series resulting in a 3-2 victory against New Zealand, Indian batsman Naman Dhir was awarded the Impact Player of the Series honor inside the dressing room. Strength and conditioning coach Adrian Le Roux presented the medal to the twenty-six-year-old all-rounder during the team gathering following the final match on November 1, 2026.

Dhir accumulated one hundred thirty-eight runs throughout the five fixtures at a striking strike rate of two hundred, securing his first overseas award with the senior national squad after previous appearances in shorter formats.

Reflecting upon his contributions, the Mumbai Indians player highlighted his satisfaction in helping secure the overseas series triumph during his debut tour away from home. His tournament campaign featured a notable forty-two not out from fifteen deliveries in the opening fixture at Christchurch to chase down a substantial target, alongside solid hitting in subsequent games including twenty-eight runs in the fourth encounter and thirty-three in the fifth match.
