Following KKR’s victory in the 2024 IPL Final, Varun Chakravarthy and Venkatesh Iyer gave a glowing interview to Harsha Bhogle in which they discussed how much Abhishek Nayar contributed to their achievement.
The spotlight may be on Shah Rukh Khan and Gautam Gambhir when the Kolkata Knight Riders overcome the Sunrisers Hyderabad to win their third IPL championship. As anticipated, praise is being showered for Sunil Narine and Andre Russell. This is Mitchell Starc’s moment to shine. As a head coach, Chandrakant Pandit becomes the first person to win both the Ranji Trophy and the IPL. However, a few players made sure that one unsung hero was given the recognition he deserved on Sunday night as KKR celebrated. The man under consideration? Abhishek Nayar is the assistant coach.
Following KKR’s victory in the 2024 IPL Final, Varun Chakravarthy and Venkatesh Iyer gave a glowing interview to Harsha Bhogle in which they discussed how much Abhishek Nayar contributed to their achievement.
“The person who constructed this Indian core is the only thing that comes to me right now. Abhishek Nayar is the principal man behind this, Chakravarthy stated.
And what a core of India that has been. Chakravarthy took 21 wickets in the match. Vaibhav Arora took 11 wickets, while Harshit Rana claimed 19. With 370 runs, Venkatesh Iyer scored. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, a teenage prodigy, scored fifty in his debut. Lower down the order, Ramandeep Singh was a revelation, making significant runs and making an impression on the field.
To the acclaim was added Venkatesh Iyer, who made a 52 off 26 balls in the IPL Final. “All the praise in the world is due to Abhishek Nayar. He expressed his want to ensure that his efforts are acknowledged, while some may go unreported.
Iyer was kept by KKR before to the last big auction, as a testament to Nayar’s confidence, instead of Shubman Gill.
Another important factor in the development of the young Indian core that KKR has relied on is Abhishek Nayar. In addition to his role as assistant coach, he has led the KKR Academy as head coach and mentor. He’s watched 18-year-old Angkrish Raghuvanshi emerge as one such talent. Nayar was praised on Instagram by his father, Avneesh.
“Greetings, sir Abhishek Nayar. “It seems like a plan on track that your first words to us were ‘I want to make Angkrish a good human and then a cricketer’,” he wrote.
Even while Gambhir and the other celebrities in the KKR backroom receive much-deserved recognition, the players have ensured that Nayar and other unsung heroes also receive their share of praise.
