But the biggest news is that now he will be seen in a new role in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). UP Warriors have appointed him to the post of head coach.

UP Warriors expressed happiness
UP Warriors’ COO Kshemal Wangankar expressed happiness over the team of Abhishek Nair. He said, “The arrival of a person like Abhishek Nair is a big step for us. They have been part of three different sports teams in the last 18 months. This team can do something special under his leadership.”
Abhishek nayar is experienced
Abhishek Nair has not cooked any women’s team so far. Recently he was part of the coaching staff of Kolkata Knight Riders, where the team won the IPL 2024 title in his coaching. After that success, he was entrusted with the responsibility of assistant coach of the Indian team. However, in 2025 he once again returned to KKR’s coaching setup. During this time, he has also groomed a lot of players.
