Naaman Dhir: Batsman Naman Dheer, who plays for Mumbai Indians in IPL, created havoc with the bat in the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League. On September 8, in the match played between Amritsar Surma and Mohali Kings, Naman batted brilliantly and scored a stormy century. Naman destroyed the opposition bowlers and played a brilliant inning of 173 runs in 64 balls. In his innings he hit 16 fours and 12 skyscraper sixes. During this period his strike rate was 270.31. Thanks to his innings, Amritsar team scored a huge score of 279 runs in 20 overs.

With this inning, Naman has now become the Indian batsman to score the highest score in T20 cricket history. In this matter he has left everyone behind including Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill. However, he missed breaking Chris Gayle’s record by just 3 runs. If he had scored 3 more runs, he would have become the batsman who played the biggest innings in the history of T20 cricket. Currently, Gayle holds the record for the highest score in T20, who played an unbeaten inning of 175 runs in 66 balls against Pune Warriors in IPL 2013, which included 13 fours and 17 sixes.
