New Delhi: Ongoing IPL (IPL 2026) Kolkata Knight Riders(Kolkata Knight Riders) condition is deplorable. KKR are the only team in this mega tournament who have not won a single match so far. KKR are at the bottom of the league table. Naturally, night management is getting criticized from all sides. Just as Ajinkya Rahane is being attacked for captaining the team, KKR coach Abhishek Nair is also the victim of oblique comments. In the midst of all this, the legend of England announced the name of the next coach of KKR.

KKR lost their seventh match (completed matches) under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane yesterday against Gujarat Titans. KKR have never lost so many matches since 2009. Knight fans are very disappointed with this performance of the team. There are already calls to change the coach and captain of the team from different quarters. There are demands for the removal of night coach Abhishek Nair. Among these, Kevin Pietersen added fuel to the fire of speculation.

Former England cricketer claims that a former coach of KKR is going to take charge of KKR again next season. Who is he? Pietersen wrote on his social media, ‘Baj (Brendon) McCullum (Brendon McCullum) will coach KKR next season. Bookmark this tweet.’

Petersen’s claim is not to be dismissed at all. McCullum was the coach of KKR from 2020 to 2022 before taking charge of England in the past. He played five seasons for the Knights. It was under this McCullum’s coaching that KKR reached the final of IPL in 2021. Despite that final loss, McCullum’s coaching was praised. However, the Kiwi left KKR after getting an offer to coach the England national team.

But now mainly since England’s performance in Tests, there has been intense speculation about McCullum’s future as England coach. Even after the 2027 World Cup, his contract with the England and Wales board ends. So McCullum is likely to become the coach of KKR. Of course, the same can be said about Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir led KKR for two IPL KKR’s third title came home under Jethe and his mentorship. However, like McCullum, Gambhir also left KKR after receiving the responsibility of the national team. His contract as Indian coach also ends after the 2027 World Cup. Then Gambhir too but many KKRLooking for the position of coach.
