The Knight Riders appointed Dwayne Bravo as their mentor after Gautam Gambhir left to become the head coach of the Indian team. Earlier, Bravo had worked as a bowling coach for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Bravo is known for his relaxed Caribbean attitude, while Pandit is known for his strict discipline.
"They are two completely different personalities - one who wakes up at 5 AM, the other who goes to sleep at 6 AM. So, we'll have to see how they combine and work together as well," Harbhajan said on ESPN Cricinfo.
Apart from the changes in the coaching setup, the defending champions also appointed veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane as their new captain. The three-time IPL champions picked Venkatesh Iyer as vice-captain.
Rahane's Best Chance to Bat is at No. 3 - Harbhajan Singh
The franchise successfully reacquired Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi in the auction. Key players like Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine were retained.
"Rahane is going to have to wrestle with what his role and position is in this batting line up. KKR have a lot of power hitters down the order - Venky Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell - so he cannot bat there. Rahane's best chance is at No.3, because the openers are fixed," Harbhajan opined.

"If KKR have picked Rahane only for captaincy, then I feel that job could have been done by someone else, like Narine, Russell, or Venky. If KKR lose an early wicket, then I can see a role for Rahane. But, if he has to bat after 12-13 overs, that is not his strength," he added.
