Nayar had earlier worked for KKR from IPL 2018 and also took care of grooming young Indian players in the side\u2019s academy in Mumbai. He was part of the side winning IPL 2024, before taking up the role of assistant coach with the Indian team, as Gautam Gambhir took over as the side\u2019s new head coach in July last year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Both Gambhir and Nayar, who was lauded by many players like KL Rahul and Varun Chakaravarthy amongst others for their successful run and revival of white-ball cricket careers, were together in the KKR set-up when they won IPL 2024. \u201cWelcome back home,\u201d said the franchise through its social media accounts on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
KKR also said Nayar has rejoined the support staff and is likely to be at their training session at the Eden Gardens on Saturday evening, ahead of their home clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
IANS had reported on Thursday that Nayar, fielding coach T. Dilip, strength & conditioning coach Soham Desai, and one masseur were removed from their roles in the Indian team ahead of the five-match Test tour of England, starting on June 20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
