Sun Nov 24 16:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Mumbai Indians Re-Sign Naman Dhir for ₹5.25 Crore in IPL 2025 Auction
**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI) have secured the services of uncapped all-rounder Naman Dhir for a hefty ₹5.25 crore, utilizing their Right To Match (RTM) card during the 2025 IPL auction. Dhir, a Punjab all-rounder, was previously with MI in IPL 2024. The Rajasthan Royals had placed the final bid at ₹3.40 crore before MI exercised their RTM, demonstrating their confidence in the young player.
Despite a relatively limited T20 career (13 matches) and modest overall IPL 2024 run tally of 140 runs in seven games (though with an impressive strike rate of 177.21), Dhir impressed with a memorable half-century in his last IPL innings. His 28-ball 62* against the Lucknow Super Giants, featuring four fours and five sixes, showcased his explosive potential at the lower middle order. MI officials clearly see significant value in Dhir’s potential, justifying the substantial investment in his services.
