Abhishek Mohan Nayar (born October 8, 1983) is an Indian first class cricketer. He plays first class cricket for Mumbai. In the Indian Premier League, he represents Mumbai Indians. Tall and broad shouldered, Abhishek Nayar bustles into the crease to bowl his lively medium pace first or second change for Mumbai. He does not quite have the pace to lead the attack, especially on docile Indian pitches, but his ability with the bat gives him an edge when it comes to selection.
