There has been a very good bonding between Rohit and Abhishek Nair. According to several reports, Rohit himself suggested to BCCI that Nair should be made the batting coach of the Indian team. However, BCCI removed Nair from the post after a poor performance of Indian batsmen in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Along with Nair, fielding coach T Dilip and conditioning coach Soham Desai were also removed after the poor form of the Test team. However, BCCI did not give any official information about it, but Nair was again cleared by returning to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) coaching setup.
KL Rahul also gave credit to Nair
Apart from Rohit, big batsmen like KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have also praised Nair many times. Nair had helped these players a lot in difficult times.
Recently, KL Rahul also mentioned Abhishek Nair after a match. He said, “I have done a lot of work with Nair. Especially since he was associated with the Indian team. We practiced together for hours in Mumbai and talked a lot about my white ball cricket. Somewhere he taught me to enjoy cricket again.”
