IPL: KKR appoints Chandrakant Pandit as new head coach
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday appointed Chandrakant Pandit as their new head coach. Notably, KKR was looking for someone to fill up the position since Brendon McCullum resigned after IPL 2022 to take up the job of England’s Test head coach.
Pandit, a former India wicketkeeper who featured in five Tests and 36 ODIs, was the head coach of Madhya Pradesh side that won the 2021-22 Ranji Trophy for the very first time. He has been a coaching stalwart in the Indian domestic cricket circuit, leading Mumbai to Ranji Trophy titles in 2002-03, 2003-04, and 2015-16. He went on to coach Vidarbha to Ranji Trophy and Irani Cup titles in 2017-2018 and 2018-19.
