Abhishek Nayar reveals what Rohit Sharma said after he picked role of assistant coach for India: ‘working with KL and bringing out a more aggressive outlook'
KL Rahul has been a consistent player in the white-ball format, especially in the 50-over version of the game. There were always questions hanging around his neck about his strike rate. Abhishek Nayar, who served as the coach when Gautam Gambhir took over, revealed that the first instruction Indian ODI captain Rohit Sharma gave to him was to make Rahul imbibe a more aggressive style of batting. 'When I first picked up that role, I remember I had a conversation with Rohit, and he said that one of the things he was really keen on me doing was working with KL and bringing out a more aggressive outlook to how KL played the game, and bringing the best out of him,' said Nayar speaking on ESPN cricinfo 'All I can tell you is, the way I've always tried to handle things is to first try and address the skill, and then use the skill as a medium to address the mind. That's as much as I can tell you in terms of details. It's about using practice to give his mind reassurance with the plan that we have, and what he needs to do to execute it,' Nayar said on how he helped Rahul to change his approach. A few days after he was removed as assistant coach of the Indian team, Abhishek Nayar is all set to join Kolkata Knight Riders as one of the support staff. Nayar had earlier worked for KKR and was their main man behind the scenes, taking care of grooming players in the academy. This newspaper reported, the batting group's continued failures in Test cricket at home and abroad had put the spotlight on Nayar's role. It is understood that during the review meeting conducted soon after the Australia tour, Nayar's role was questioned by multiple voices in the team management, while feedback was sought from players too. This is also the first instance of the BCCI stepping in to terminate a contract of a support staff handpicked by the head coach.

Who is Anthony Edwards' family? Meet the people who raised and inspired the Timberwolves star
Anthony Edwards's impressive career in the NBA is only part of his story. Behind the slam dunks and explosive playoff performances is a 23-year-old who has experienced profound loss, unwavering sibling support, and a deep sense of responsibility to those who raised him. Born in Atlanta and drafted No. 1 overall in 2020, Edwards credits his journey not just to talent, but to the family ties that shaped him—and to the grief that drives him. Where Edwards' story really began Edwards was born to Chrisha Yvette Edwards and an absentee father on August 5, 2001, per Britannica. His childhood mostly revolved around two women: his mother and maternal grandmother, Shirley Edwards. They were his loudest cheerleaders and his daily foundation. But in 2015, both women passed away from cancer within eight months of each other—an event that changed everything for 14-year-old Anthony. He described the impact to ESPN: 'There are only two people who are going to get my all, but that's over with.' From then on, he played for their memory. As per The Basketball Network, Edwards wears No. 5 to honor the days they passed, a tribute visible every time he steps on the court. Siblings who became parents With them no more, Edwards's older siblings—Antoine, Antoinette, and Bubba—took over as guardians. Antoine and Antoinette raised him through his high school years, keeping his life grounded. As per The Athletic, Anthony has said his sister 'kept everything together,' calling her the 'staple' of the family. Bubba, an aspiring rapper known as 'bdifferent,' inspired Anthony to pick up a basketball. 'If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be up here,' Anthony told the publication. Their relationship remains strong. Bubba has even performed during Timberwolves games, with Anthony backing his music career publicly. Anthony Edwards: Father of three Off the court, Anthony is a father of three confirmed children with three women, including his daughter Aislynn, born in March 2024 with longtime girlfriend Shannon Jackson. The birth, documented on Netflix's Starting 5, showed a new side of the rising star. While Edwards was not sure about fatherhood as a whole after the child's birth, at the time he stated 'As of right now, it's just the best feeling…in the world for sure. That's my little girl,' he said. 'I've got to pick her up and hold her and talk to her.'
