Kolkata, July 29 (UNI) Chandrakant Pandit has decided to part ways with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and will not continue as the franchise’s Head Coach, the team confirmed today.
Pandit, who took over the coaching reins ahead of the 2023 season, guided KKR to a historic title win in the 2024 edition of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL), their third championship and first in a decade.
“We are thankful for his invaluable contributions, including leading KKR to the TATA IPL Championship in 2024 and helping build a strong, resilient squad,” the franchise said in a statement.
Widely respected for his no-nonsense approach and ability to bring the best out of domestic talent, Pandit’s leadership and discipline have been credited with reshaping the team’s mindset and on-field execution.
The statement added that Pandit’s impact would be lasting, and the franchise wished him the very best for his future endeavours.
A seasoned coach with multiple Ranji Trophy titles to his name, Pandit is now expected to explore new opportunities in Indian cricket, potentially at the national or developmental levels.
