“I try to do the best for this franchise. He’s been doing an amazing job, and we’ve gotten coming back as well,” he added
Chandrakant Pandit and David Wiese
Senior all-rounder Andre Russell on Thursday supported Kolkata Knight Riders’s head coach Chandrakant Pandit, whose coaching style was termed “militant” by former KKR all-rounder David Wiese.
Jamaica’s Russell, an integral part of KKR’s core group, sounded different. “We’ve been working with him from last year. I think when you’re working with a coach for the first time, you have to make sure that you adjust to their philosophy. There have to be rules. We are professionals. So, we don’t complain,” said Russell at the pre-match press meet here.

“I try to do the best for this franchise. He’s been doing an amazing job, and we’ve gotten coming back as well,” he added. Pandit had taken over as KKR coach ahead of IPL 2022.
“He [Pandit] is known in India as a very militant type of coach. He is very strict, very disciplinarian that type of stuff. Sometimes in franchise cricket, when you have overseas guys, who’ve played all over the world, they don’t need anyone coming and telling them how they need to behave, what they need to wear and what they need to do the whole time. So, that was tough,” said Wiese on the podcast Hitman for Hire.
