The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have finally pressed the reset button. After yet another underwhelming IPL season this year, the franchise has decided to hand over the reins to Abhishek Nayar, promoting him as their new head coach ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. The formal announcement is expected in the coming days, but according to The Indian Express, Nayar was informed about the decision last week. He has replaced Chandrakant Pandit, who joined the team in 2022 and won the IPL 2024 alongside Gautam Gambhir, who was the mentor at that time and Shreyas Iyer was the captain.
It’s a deserving rise for Nayar, who has long been the team’s unsung architect. For years, Nayar has quietly shaped cricketers behind the scenes, improving their fitness, and rebuilding their confidence and providing them with insights. Whether it be Varun Chakaravarthy and Rinku Singh at KKR, or helping Rohit Sharma lose weight and also aiding KL Rahul in the off-season. Now, he gets a chance to do it from the dugout as the man in charge.
