Following the appointment of Gautam Gambhir as India’s head coach, Abhishek Nayar is a strong contender for the assistant coach position. Nayar’s experience with Gambhir in the IPL and his close friendship with captain Rohit Sharma are seen as assets. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already initiated discussions with Nayar, while former Indian bowlers R. Vinay Kumar and L. Balaji are in the running for the bowling coach role.
Kolkata Knight Riders CEO Venky Mysore has recently clarified the situation surrounding the deleted viral video featuring Rohit Sharma and KKR assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. The video, which was originally shared by KKR, was later taken down after it sparked discussions about Sharma’s future with the Mumbai Indians. Mysore stated that he was unaware of the video and believes it was created with malicious intent. Both Sharma and Nayar have denied any wrongdoing and have stated that the conversation was taken out of context.
