Seeing the current condition of the points table, this team seems difficult to reach the playoffs. Even the pacer of the team Harshit Rana has said that in the absence of Mentor Gautam Gambhir, this time is the thrill missing, which was last year. In such a situation, there is bound to raise questions on head coach Chandrakant Pandit. Many players are unhappy with their coaching style.
According to media reports, coach Pandit has a sharp debate with a foreign player. Chandrakant Pandit, who is considered very strict, was agitated on the foreign player of his own team when he went out to eat food with the player of the opposing team. But Pandit forgot that both players are partners of their national team.

After Gautam Gambhir went to Team India, KKR had to change his coaching setup, as the serious assistant coach Abhishek Nair also took it with him. After Nair was expelled from the national team, KKR left no stone unturned to include him again in the team. Nair has been working closely with the players since his return to Knight Riders. Last year, after the KKR’s title win in IPL 2024, many players praised Gambhir and Nair in public, but very few words came out to praise Chandrakant Pandit, in such a situation, this controversy raises questions on ‘Chandu Sir’.

Chandrakant Pandit of Mumbai, who played with the Indian team, played an important role in winning his first Ranji Trophy title to Madhya Pradesh in the year 2022. What Gambhir did with KKR could not do any other coach or mentor. Harshit Rana indicated the same in a press conference on Monday.
Before the match against Delhi Capitals, Harshit Rana said, ‘I will not say that because the structure of our associate staff is basically the same (like last year). Abhishek Bhai (Abhishek Nair) is also back. Chandu sir, (Dwayne) Bravo is all good. But yes, there is an adventure that I miss a little shortage.
