Abhishek Nayar, who was the assistant coach of the Indian men’s team, is starting a new chapter in his coaching career. He’s going to be a full-time coach for the first time in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). After leaving the Indian team, Nayar has been appointed as the head coach of UP Warriorz, a team that has not won a title yet.
Nayar is also the batting coach of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He is very fond of KKR and says it’s like his family. He thought of joining KKR even before people knew he was leaving the Indian team. He said KKR is where he feels he truly belongs.
UP Warriorz has not won the WPL yet and Nayar is joining them as their coach. He spoke about his recent experiences after taking up the job which is quite some time before the next tournament.
Why did you join KKR before your departure from the Indian team was announced? Nayar replied, KKR is where I feel at home.
KKR is like family to me. People talk about that idea a lot but for me it’s really true. The speed at which I came back to the team shows I belong there, he said.
KL Rahul praised Nayar for helping him grow as a white ball batter. But the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) let Nayar go. Now Nayar has another task: to guide UP Warriorz to their first WPL title.

Nayar is not worried about the challenges he might face. He sees them as opportunities to grow. To be honest I don’t know what problems I’ll have yet. I really don’t know and that’s what makes it interesting, he said.
I don’t focus on the problems. I focus on the opportunities. This year our team has an opportunity to improve because we were last year. The only way is up and that’s our opportunity, he said.With his experience, the pressure is on Nayar. He has coached with Kolkata Knight Riders and helped many players succeed on the field. Now he wants to do the same for UP Warriorz
. The team and its fans hope his leadership will help them improve and win their first WPL title. He has a plan to tackle the challenges and is looking forward to the opportunities that come with this new job. His move to UP Warriorz is a big step that could change the team’s fortunes and be a high point in his already successful coaching career.
