IPL 2023: Chandrakant Pandit, The Coach Who Can Make KKR Win This Year

Reason why KKR has high chances to emerge as the winner of IPL 2023. 

Two-times Indian Premier League (IPL) winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had a mediocre IPL 2022 season. Even in IPL 2023, the team is without their captain, Shreyas Iyer. However, KKR has shown some really good intent in all the matches the team has played so far in IPL 2023, and is one of the strongest contenders to win the title this year.

Out of all the reasons why KKR will win IPL 2023, one main reason is the presence of a highly experienced and immensely talented coach – Chandrakant Pandit.
