Abhishek Nayar joins KKR support staff
Abhishek Nayar joined Gautam Gambhir as the assistant coach. But it has not been a good run for Nayar. After the humiliating 3-1 loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024), questions were raised about the credibility of the support staff.
And just after a year into the national team stint, Nayar has been sacked by the BCCI. Not just Nayar, but two other members of the support staff have also been removed. These include fielding coach T. Dilip and S&C coach Soham Desai, who have served their 3-year stint in the BCCI.
Further reports also claimed that the team was disappointed with Nayar. This came after reports of dressing room leaks came out in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
