Kolkata Knight Riders’ upcoming assignment is against Gujarat Titans on Monday at the Eden Gardens. This match will also mark the return of Abhishek Nayar as KKR’s assistant coach. Nayar, who was a part of KKR’s coaching setup in the previous edition, had left the job after he joined Team India as the assistant coach. He was chosen by head coach Gautam Gambhir, along with Ryan Ten Doeschate as his assistants. However, the BCCI took a strict action after India’s debacle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia and sacked Nayar from his duties. Shortly after his sacking, Nayar returned to KKR as the assistant coach and in a recent video, was seen interacting with the players.

Published by Webster

Days after his removal as India’s assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar on Saturday returned to Kolkata Knight Riders fold but his exact role and position has not been specified by the IPL side. Nayar was part of the KKR set up as an assistant coach and mentor when they lifted their third IPL title last year, a decade after their previous triumph in 2014. He also played a pivotal role in player development at the KKR Academy. “Welcome back home, Abhishek Nayar,” KKR posted on X, confirming his re-entry into the team setup. In an earlier post KKR revealed that he was back as assistant coach but soon deleted it from X. BCCI had sacked support staff members Nayar, fielding coach T Dilip, and the conditioning coach Soham Desai following a performance review in the wake of India’s dismal run in Test cricket. Nayar had joined the national team in July 2024. He is expected to be in the KKR dugout when the team clashes with Gujarat Titans on Monday at Eden Gardens. He …

“No Way Gautam ambhir Was Going To…”: Explosive Details Behind Abhishek Nayar’s Sacking Out

Abhishek Nayar (L) and Gautam Gambhir© AFP Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir did not protest to the sacking of assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, according to a report by Hindustan Times. Gambhir appointed Nayar as part of his support staff right after becoming the head coach and they share a long partnership from the time they worked together with Kolkata Knight Riders. According to the report, when BCCI decided to ‘trim’ Gambhir’s coaching staff following the poor show in the Test series against Australia, he did not oppose to the idea. It added that Gambhir was more concerned with keeping bowling coach Morne Morkel and the other assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate – both of them were his own recommendations. “Gambhir didn’t oppose (to Nayar’s sacking). He had to go through a lot of negotiations to bring Ten Doeschate and Morkel on board. There was no way he was going to let them go this early,” a BCCI source told Hindustan Times. “The board officials took feedback from senior cricketers and some …

In a major development, Abhishek Nayar, T. Dilip, and Soham Desai are likely to be removed from the India men’s cricket team support staff. Sources have also told IANS that a team masseur, whose identity is yet to be known, has also been removed from the national set-up. Nayar had come on board as the Indian team assistant coach in July last year after leaving Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) while Dilip and Desai have been a part of the set-up from November 2021 and October 2020 respectively. The quartet had been a part of India’s 2025 Champions Trophy triumph in an unbeaten campaign in Dubai. “Some people in the Board had been saying about what’s the point of having so many people in men’s team support staff, especially after the debacle of Test series defeat in Australia. They had this view that with so many coaches there, the support staff of the men’s team gave a crowded look,” sources told IANS on Thursday. “So, this can’t be called sacking, it’s just about giving …

BCCI Terminates India Assistant Coach Abhishek Nayar’s Contract

BCCI Terminates India Assistant Coach Abhishek Nayar’s Contract

Published by Webster

According to reports, the BCCI has decided to part ways with India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, with an official confirmation yet to be revealed. The Indian Board has a no-nonsense approach after India’s poor outing in Australia and decided to terminate assistant coach Abhishek Nayar’s contract after just eight months. Although the BCCI has yet to make its official statement, reports claim that Nayar has already been informed of the decision. Brought in as part of India’s new coaching set-up after Rahul Dravid, Vikram Rathour and Paras Mhambrey’s tenure expired by the end of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The report added that BCCI’s appointment of Sitanshu Kotak as India’s new batting coach was a way to push Nayar out eventually. It’s not known yet whether the board’s strict actions stem from their belief that Nayar had a role to play in India’s dressing room leaks after Border Gavaskar Trophy, but the 41-year old’s presence has, in fact, dubbed ‘counter-productive’. Abhishek Nayar (image: X) “Just after the tour of Australia, there was a review meeting …

On Dropping Shubman Gill From 4th Test XI, India Coach Abhishek Nayar’s ‘Rohit Sharma’ Response

Published by Webster

India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar on Thursday defended axing Shubman Gill from the Boxing Day Test, saying it was in team’s best interest to not only have Rohit Sharma back to his usual opening slot but also add some sting to the attack by drafting in spin all-rounder Washington Sundar. Gill, who missed the first Test due to a finger injury, scored 31 and 28 in the Pink Ball Test and looked the most assured among Indian batters. He, however, got out for a duck in Brisbane. With Rohit Sharma opening the innings and KL Rahul coming at No. 3, Gill had to make way for a third specialist all-rounder in Washington. “Yes, Rohit will come up in the order and more likely than not, he will open the innings. That was the thought process. Unfortunately for Gill, just how things spanned out, he had to miss out,” Nayar said at the end of the day’s play. “I just feel for a young player in a position like that, a big day, he …

Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between Australia and India, assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said going to Australia and playing in their conditions is the toughest challenge for the Indian cricketers.

This has made India a much more successful side in the series, with India winning the BGT 10 times and Australia winning it five times, with their last series win coming in during the 2014-15 season. Their last series win in India was in 2004-05. “It’s one of the toughest challenges for an Indian cricketer, coming here and overcoming it. I think Gauti Bhai (Gautam Gambhir) had a chat with the boys just before we started here. Some of the senior boys as well such as Booms (Jasprit Bumrah), Virat, Ash (Ashwin) all having you know chat with the guys, how first they came here …
