Fresh after being sacked from his role as India’s assistant coach, the seasoned all-rounder is all set for a brand-new innings. Come the T20 Mumbai League Season 3, Nayar will don the mentor’s hat for the brand-new franchise, Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals.

It’s been a bit of a mixed year for Abhishek Nayar. After serving under Gautam Gambhir during India's victorious Champions Trophy campaign, he was part of a backroom shake-up post India's rough 1-3 loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Along with fielding coach T Dilip and strength coach Soham Desai, Nayar found himself on the chopping block as BCCI decided to ring in the changes.

Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals Rope In Nayar

But cricket never leaves you in the lurch for too long. Abhishek Nayar quickly found his feet again, joining the Kolkata Knight Riders' think-tank in IPL 2025 and now, he is ready to take his experience to Mumbai’s buzzing T20 scene.

As reported by Times of India journalist Gaurav Gupta, Abhishek Nayar has been roped in as the mentor for Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals, one of the two new teams entering the T20 Mumbai League Season 3.

The official announcement is expected to drop next week but the buzz is already doing the rounds. Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals will be hoping that Nayar’s calm head and years of domestic and IPL experience will be the secret sauce they need to make a splash in their debut season.

It’s not just Nayar making headlines. Former India pacer and ex-bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has also taken up a new role. He has signed up as the head coach of ARCS Andheri, another team heading into the Mumbai T20 carnival.

Mhambrey, who is currently part of the Mumbai Indians coaching set-up, brings a mountain of experience and a no-nonsense attitude that could turn ARCS into serious title contenders.
