Overview

  • Abhishek Nayar has rejoined the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as an assistant coach for the remainder of IPL 2025, following his removal from Team India's support staff.
  • The BCCI cited India's poor Test performances against New Zealand and Australia, as well as a new three-year tenure cap, as reasons for the overhaul of the coaching staff.
  • Nayar’s removal reportedly involved internal power struggles within the support staff, with feedback from senior players influencing the decision.
  • Fielding coach T Dilip and Strength and Conditioning coach Soham Desai were also let go under the BCCI’s revised Standard Operating Procedure.
  • Veteran fitness coach Adrian Le Roux, credited with revolutionizing India’s fitness culture in 2003, is expected to return to the national team setup.
