KKR and Head Coach Chandrakant Pandit part ways due to poor performance in IPL 2025: big news

Due to poor performance in IPL 2025, head coach Chandrakant Pandit and Kolkata Knight Riders have decided to separate. Apart from this, Bharat Arun, who has been playing the role of bowling coach in the team for four years, has also decided to separate from mutual consent.

Significantly, Chandrakant Pandit, one of the most successful coaches in domestic cricket, was associated with the KKR franchise in the year 2023 as the head coach. So at the same time, Bharat Arun, who had served the bowling coach in the Indian cricket team from 2014 to 2021, was associated with the team since 2022. But now the franchise has decided to separate from these two coaches with mutual consent.

However, under the leadership of both, KKR also won its third IPL title (2024). However, this decision has been taken by a three -time champion franchise due to the team’s simple performance in the last season of IPL. Last season KKR finished the IPL 2025 points at the 8th position. The team was able to win only five of the 14 league matches played.

The campaign to save KKR title led by the new captain Ajinkya Rahane failed due to poor performance, opportunity and internal problems. His playoff hopes ended after the match was a washed out due to rain against Royal Challengers Bangalore. So at the same time, the franchise has also shared a passionate post from his official Instagram account for Chandrakant Pandit’s separation from the team.
