Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday named Indian domestic cricket legend Chandrakant Pandit as its new head coach. KKR were looking to fill the spot after New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum quit the position as he took over as England’s head coach in Test cricket.
KKR are two-time IPL champions and also finished runners-up in 2021. Their last triumph came in 2014.
Chandrakant Pandit recently coached the Madhya Pradesh to their maiden Ranji Trophy title.
He had also coached the Vidarbha team to the Ranji Trophy title in 2018 and 2019. He has also coached Indian domestic cricket’s heavyweights Mumbai.
