Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan, welcomed Chandrakant Pandit as the new head coach for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
"Welcome sir, so excited to have your experience on our side and for this upcoming season. Korbo lorbo jeetbo!" Aryan Khan wrote in an Instagram story.
Chandrakant Pandit has been appointed as the Kolkata Knight Riders' head coach for the upcoming IPL season replacing Brendon McCullum, who is now the head coach of the England Test side.
Mr Pandit, the most celebrated coach in the Indian domestic circuit, recently guided Madhya Pradesh to their maiden Ranji Trophy title, having won the national championship multiple times with Mumbai and Vidarbha.
"I have heard from players and others who have been associated with the Knight Riders, about the family culture, as well as the tradition of success that has been created," Mr Pandit said.
He added, "I am excited about the quality of the support staff and the players who are part of the set up and I am looking forward to this opportunity with all humility and positive expectations."
