Naman Dhir says he initially did not believe a congratulatory message he received on social media after being selected for India’s upcoming ODI series against the West Indies. He reportedly assumed the post was spam, but his reaction changes when he opens the official team announcement.

Dhir describes being unable to process what he is seeing for about ten minutes, saying he freezes in disbelief after confirming the call-up through the official squad posting. The account focuses on his immediate, personal response to learning he has made the national ODI team.

Across the outlet’s reporting, the core details remain the same: Dhir receives messages around his selection, doubts their legitimacy at first, then verifies the news through India’s official team announcement and experiences a moment of shock or disbelief before fully absorbing it.
