Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has secured a new position with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), just days after being dismissed from his role with the national team.
KKR officially announced his arrival on April 19, though his exact responsibilities within the franchise remain undisclosed.
Nayar was given the India team coaching position following the 2024 IPL season, owing to his proven success in mentoring players such as Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, and Rinku Singh. His ability to help cricketers regain form across various stages of their careers has earned him respect in the cricketing world.
While his departure from the Indian setup was unexpected, KKR’s swift recruitment suggests they value his expertise. Fans and analysts alike will be keen to see how Nayar’s presence influences the team’s performance in IPL 2025.
