Notably, the BCCI did not appoint a specialist batting coach under Gautam Gambhir. Abhishek Nayar took on the responsibility of focusing on the batters. However, India struggled in their batting during the home series against New Zealand and the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 in Australia.
According to a report in PTI, Abhishek Nayar's role in the Indian coaching staff may be temporary after India's poor performance in recent series. The report added that Nayar is likely to be part of the coaching set-up due to the influence of a senior player, but the name of the player was not revealed.
