Nayar has worked one-on-one with several India players with notably successful results. Among those who have trained under him are KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and, most prominently, Rohit Sharma. Although not always given due credit, Rohit’s recent resurgence is widely believed to have stemmed from his individual sessions with Nayar. The India captain has, on multiple occasions, acknowledged and thanked Nayar for his support.
