Objection to food with unhappy rival player with KKR star coach Chandrakant Pandit: Report: Report

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) did not find the same drain this season that raised him the Indian Premier League (IPL) title in the last term. The franchise has only three wins in nine matches, which place them 7th in the points table, in a slight flow on the playoff qualification. Even the pacer of the team Harshit Rana said that the team did not have the same ‘adventure’ as it was in the previous campaign when Gautam was with the serious assistant employees. Therefore, the situation raises many questions on the role of head coach Chandrakant Pandit, whose management style has not gone down well with many players.

According to a Revsportz report, Pandit made a clash with a foreign player in KKR, as he decided to have ‘food’ with the player of the rival team. But Pandit completely ignored that it was the fact that ‘rival players’ were partners of the team of foreign star in the national side.

KKR made a change in his coaching setup, when Gautam Gambhir decided to leave for the Indian national team’s job, also took assistant coach Abhishek Nair with him. After dismissing Nair from the national team, KKR hurried to plant him backwards again. Since his return to Knight Riders, Nair has been working closely with the players.

Last year, after the victory of KKR title in IPL 2024, many players publicly expressed their praise for Gambhir and Nair, the way they prepared and supported the players. However, many words of praise did not come for Chandrakant Pandit.

Therefore, the situation raises many questions on the pandi, under which the Madhya Pradesh team won its first Ranji Trophy title in 2022.

What Gambhir did with KKR, no other coach or mentor managed to repeat. Harshit Rana indicated this at a press conference on Monday.

“I wouldn’t say that because the composition of our assistant employees is basically the same (since last year). (Abhishek) Nair Bhai is also back. Chandu sir, (Dwayne) Bravo is all good. But yes, yes, this is the thrill factor that I remember a little. I am not talking about someone else,” Hirsit Rana said against the match.

“You also know that Gambhir has an aura, the way he comes and takes the team along. I was just talking about that,” he said.
