Nair has done very good work in training players at the local level. Many players praise it. Before becoming a coach in IPL, Abhishek Nair acted as a mentor and showed the path of success to many players of the country. Team India captain Rohit Sharma himself has mentioned this.

Started coaching with Rohit

Rohit Sharma had made his ODI and T20 debut in the year 2007 itself. In 2007, he was also a part of Team India that won the T20 World Cup. However, Rohit failed to perform consistently as per his talent, as a result of which he did not get a place in the 2011 ODI World Cup team. He was very saddened by this. After this, it was Abhishek Nair who trained Rohit Sharma.

Abhishek Nair himself had revealed this in an interview. He had told that Rohit was very disappointed after being dropped from the 2011 ODI World Cup. Then he worked on Rohit's fitness, because he was overweight at that time. This made him realize his strength and what happened next is in front of everyone today. This was no less than a big success for Abhishek Nair. He himself was very happy with this, after which he decided to become a mentor. Since then both are very good friends.

Abhishek Nair's career was like this
