KKR head coach Abhishek Nayar admitted Kolkata Knight Riders paid heavily for dropping Virat Kohli on 21 during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s six-wicket win in Raipur on Wednesday night
The franchise has Phoebe Litchfield and 23-year-old Shipra Giri to don the gloves, but Nayar agreed that wicketkeeping was an area of concern for the team, a few days before their season opener against the Gujarat Giants on January 10
Abhishek Nayar-coached KKR had entered the IPL 2026 auction with the biggest purse, over 60 crore rupees, with a heavy rebuilding act to be carried out.
Kolkata Knight Riders made the signing of Abhishek Nayar as their new head coach official just minutes after Mumbai Indians cheekily indicated that Rohit Sharma is not joining the former.
Nayar also weighed on Virat Kohli's challenges against the potent seam duo of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood and also declared that a good start from openers Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma will help the former India skipper settle in nicely.
Rohit didn't get off to the best of starts in the Australia series with the Mumbai batter falling victim to Josh Hazlewood for 8 runs in the first ODI.
Rohit's close friend and former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar recently revealed that the India opener's physical transformation was a result of social media trolls.
