Abhishek Nayar revealed how Rohit Sharma personally pushed to unlock the fiercest version of Rahul during a crucial phase in Indian cricket. The former Indian coach said that Rohit had full belief in Rahul’s talent, so he urged him to bring out a "more aggressive outlook" and ensure he reached his full potential for the 2023–25 cycle.

Abhishek Nayar was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “When I first picked up that role, I remember I had a conversation with Rohit, and he said that one of the things he was really keen on me doing was working with KL and bringing out a more aggressive outlook to how KL played the game and bringing the best out of him because he believed strongly that KL would play a major role in the Champions Trophy, World Cup, and everything going forward, including the BGT and the Tests in England.”

Nayar added, “A coach has to be lucky. How lucky that in his first game in Australia he got runs in the second inning, and in the first also he got a start. That gave him a bit of believability. There are times when the glue just sticks. That was the moment the glue stuck. He really enjoyed that knock. He told me, Listen, I feel like I am just watching and playing. It’s music to me now, playing the sport.”

Additionally, Nayar opened up about why Rahul struggled to reach his full potential earlier in his career. He said that constant outside noise and growing expectations, both from others and from within the dressing room, had started weighing heavily on Rahul.
The KKR coach noted that the pressure to live up to his talent and prove himself ended up holding him back and stopping him from playing freely and being himself. He will be next seen in action in the second Test against England, starting on July 2 in Birmingham.
