Abhishek Nayar could be the next assistant coach for Team India

Abhishek Nayar, a former India and Mumbai all-rounder, is expected to be appointed as India's new assistant coach, according to recommendations from newly-appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to the 2024 IPL title, values Nayar's contributions since 2018. Nayar's strong relationship with India's ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma, along with his influence on players like Dinesh Karthik and Varun Chakravarthy, bolsters his candidacy.
