Nayar was hired only last year.
Earlier today, news broke out that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to sack a few members of the coaching staff.
The names included assistant coach Abhishek Nayar alongside fielding coach T Dilip and trainer Soham.
The news of Nayar, especially, who was hired only last year, came as shocking as India are set to embark on a long five-Test tour of England in June after the culmination of IPL 2025.
Furthermore, recently players like KL Rahul have come out and credited Nayar for helping him improve his T20 batting, which has reflected in the ongoing IPL 2025 so far.
It can only be presumed that the losses against New Zealand at home and then at the hands of the Aussie in the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) might have played a part in the decision.
However, the Indian cricket team fans feel that Abhishek Nayar has been prematurely sacked and they took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their views.
Let’s check some of the reactions below.
