Abhishek Nayar: The Unsung Hero Behind KKR’s IPL 2024 Triumph

admin — Tue, 28 May 2024 02:18:33 +0000

The limelight may be on Gautam Gambhir and Shah Rukh Khan as Kolkata Knight Riders win their third IPL title, defeating the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Sunil Narine and Andre Russell are being hailed, as expected. Mitchell Starc has come good on the big occasion. Chandrakant Pandit becomes the first man to win the IPL and the Ranji Trophy as a head coach. But as KKR celebrated on Sunday night, some players made sure that one unsung hero also received due credit. The man in question? Assistant coach Abhishek Nayar.

While being interviewed by Harsha Bhogle after KKR won the 2024 IPL Final, Varun Chakravarthy and Venkatesh Iyer spoke highly about the role played by Abhishek Nayar in orchestrating their success.

“All I can think of right now is the person who built this Indian core. The main guy behind this is Abhishek Nayar,” said Chakravarthy.

And what an Indian core it has been. Chakravarthy picked up 21 wickets. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora got 19 and 11 wickets, respectively. Venkatesh Iyer scored 370 runs. Teenage talent Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored fifty on debut. Ramandeep Singh was a revelation lower down the order, adding vital runs and impressing on the field.

Venkatesh Iyer, who scored a 26-ball 52 in the IPL Final, added to the praise. “Abhishek Nayar deserves all the credit in the world. Some of his contributions go unnoticed, I want to make sure it doesn’t,” he said. Iyer was retained by KKR before the previous mega auction, in favour of Shubman Gill, a symbol of the faith shown by Nayar.

Abhishek Nayar has also played a significant role in developing the young Indian core that KKR has banked on. Apart from being the assistant coach, he has also been the mentor and head coach of the KKR Academy. One such starlet he’s seen rise is 18-year-old Angkrish Raghuvanshi. His father Avneesh thanked Nayar on Instagram.

“Dear Abhishek Nayar sir. Your first words to us were “I want to make Angkrish a good human and then a cricketer”… seems like a plan on track,” he wrote.

While Gambhir and the rest of the star-studded KKR backroom gets richly-deserved credit, the players have made sure that even unsung heroes like Nayar get their flowers.

The video was reportedly deleted by KKR after it went viral, thus further fanning the speculation. Though there was plenty of background noise in the viral video, it didn’t take long for social media users to decipher what exactly was spoken between Rohit and Nayar on the eve of the KKR vs MI clash at Eden Gardens.

Yn the video, Rohit can be heard telling Nayar about ‘change’. At the end of the video, the former Mumbai Indians skipper also said that “it’s his last”. Though the context of the conversation isn’t known, fans suggested that the two could’ve talked about the current situation at Mumbai Indians, especially Hardik Pandya‘s appointment as skipper.

“Ek ek cheez change ho raha hai…Woh unke upar hai…Jo bhi hai woh mera ghar hai bhai, woh temple jo hai na maine banwaya hai(Everything is changing one by one… It’s on them… Whatever, but it’s my home brother, it’s the temple that I constructed).”

The last line that could be heard in the video was: “Bhai mera kya mera to ye last hai (brother, this is my last anyway)”.

Now Kolkata Knight Riders CEO Venky Mysore has opened up on the issue. “I didn’t even know about it, some storm in a teacup I think. They have been good friends since God knows how long. Somebody has done something there just to create some mischief. I spoke to both of them, they were talking about something else. Some people just have too much time on their hands. That’s all I can say,” said Venky Mysore to RevSportz.

A few days ago, a report emerged suggesting that multiple senior players in the Mumbai Indians team aren’t happy with Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. In fact, the senior stars also reportedly said that Hardik’s style of captaincy doesn’t create the required ‘buzz’ in the MI dressing room.

The Mumbai Indians management announced Hardik as the franchise’s skipper ahead of the start of the new season, hoping the India all-rounder would lead them to success just the way he did with the Gujarat Titans over the last couple of seasons. However, little has gone MI’s way since the campaign started.

Mumbai Indians became the first team to be knocked out of the playoffs race this campaign, and are placed 9th in the 10-team points table at present. With just 4 wins from 12 matches so far, MI have barely managed to click as a unit, with Hardik’s decision-making as a skipper also being questioned multiple times.
