“I am the type of person who does much better for others than doing things better for myself. In that series (against NZ), I was competing with my own people (for a place in the team), and I was not very comfortable with it.” Samson expressed recently during the India Today interaction. 

Abhishek Nayar has been appointed as the head coach of the KKR side for the 2026 season of the IPL, as he replaced outgoing Chandrakant Pandit. The former Indian player has been involved with the KKR side since 2018 as the batting coach and mentor, and is famous for nurturing the young talents.
