The former India keeper-batter was at the helm when KKR, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, lifted the trophy in 2024 after a decade. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> &#8220;Mr. Chandrakant Pandit has decided to explore new opportunities and will not continue as Head Coach of Kolkata Knight Riders,&#8221; the franchise said in a statement on Tuesday (July 29). <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> &#8220;We are thankful for his invaluable contributions &#8211; including leading KKR to the Tata IPL Championship in 2024 and helping build a strong, resilient squad. His leadership and discipline have left a lasting impact on the team. We wish him all the very best for the future.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Under Pandit, KKR won 22 of the 42 games across three seasons while losing 18 (2 no-results). In the 2025 season, however, KKR finished eighth winning only five of their 14 league outings. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> KKR is yet to announce a replacement for Pandit. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a9 Cricbuzz <\/p>\n<p>     RELATED STORIES  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE Pandit served as head coach of KKR for three seasons \u00a9 Sportzpics Kolkata Knight Riders&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":301800,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-301799","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114937808071209595","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
