Chandrakant Pandit Resigns As KKR Head Coach
Pandit Served worked as a head coach in KKR for 3 seasons
Kolkata Knight Riders have parted ways with head coach Chandrakant Pandit after three seasons.
Pandit took over from Brendan McCullum in 2022 after the former Kiwi batter was appointed as the head coach of England's men's test side. Pandit served as the head coach of the side for three years. KKR lifted the IPL trophy under the regime of Pandit & Shreyas Iyer in 2024.
KKR Statement on Pandit
"Mr. Chandrakant Pandit has decided to step down from his post as he wanted to explore new opportunities, hence won't be continuing with us next year," the franchise said in a statement on Tuesday (July 29).
"We are thankful for his services to the KKR franchise, helping us win the championship in 2024. He built a strong squad with discipline. We wish him all the very best for his future endeavors."
Under Pandit, KKR won 22 of the 42 games across three seasons while losing 18 (2 no-results). In the 2025 season, however, KKR finished eighth, winning only five of their 14 league outings.
KKR is yet to announce a replacement for Pandit.
