The gesture quickly became a talking point as the Indian squad gathered to celebrate the series victory. Dhir, who has made the most of his opportunities, received the trophy from Iyer as the team posed for photographs.

India had already secured an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series before the final T20I. The hosts, however, were unable to finish on a winning note, with New Zealand restricting them to 191/8 before chasing down the target.

Dhir's performances have been one of the positives for India during the series, with the youngster making an impression when given opportunities. The trophy handover added a special touch to India's series-winning celebrations as the players and support staff came together for the customary team photographs.

The Mumbai Indians all-rounder finishes as India's second highest run getter of the series despite batting well down the order compared to the rest of the batters in the team.

While he did not bowl much, Dhir is proving handy as a lower order option even keeping two-time World Cup winner Shivam Dube on the bench.
